Article 6 of the Agreement on Agriculture, dealing with the provision of the Minimum Support Prices (MSPs) for the agricultural products, is considered to be trade distorting. It is also subjected to various limitations, one of them being the fact that the subsidy arising from ‘minimal supports’ cannot exceed 10 per cent of the value of agricultural production for developing countries.
