In the terminology of WTO, which among the following is not an amber box subsidy ?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

WTO Agreement on Agriculture Annex 2 paragraph 2(b) classifies qualifying publicly funded pest and disease control as a general service exempt from reduction commitments, commonly the green box. Minimum support prices are market-price support, and subsidised seeds or irrigation charges are normally production/input support unless a specific exemption applies. The listed government pest-control cost is thus the clear non-amber item.
