The need for and the possibility of agricultural protectionism in Estonia
1995
Mertsina, T. (EAU, Tartu (Estonia). Dept. of Agricultural Economics)
Agricultural production has decreased remarkably during the past few years in Estonia. However, although the production has decreased, it can still meet the needs of domestic demand for a number of products and even to export. At the same time, import of the agricultural produce has increased as well, which, on the one side has created the wide option and offered the healthy competition, but, on the other side, due to dumped prices for many products, has occupied the market to a relatively great extent for some products being harmful to domestic producers. Estonia, in joining the international structures, both with the GATT and the EU, should consider these opportunities, which are offered by the international policy. Import tariff is the less distortive protection instrument for the country with weak budget and considering the government's inability sufficiently to meet public needs. Also, the GATT makes concessions on the application of tariffs. However, tariffs should not achieve such a scope, where they will extensively retain inefficient enterprises
