Exports can also be subsidised through export credits. Export credits are used to supply products to a country on a credit agreement using preferential rates over a long term. This is an option favoured by the USA. 2 Market access Among WTO member countries, most agricultural products are protected only by import tariffs. As part of the Uruguay Round agreement, all non-tariff barriers had to be eliminated or converted to tariffs (tariffied). As a result, some were deemed to be too high to allow any real scope for imports, so a system of tariff-rate quotas was created to maintain existing import access levels and provide minimum access opportunities.
2 Industry structure The pig meat processing industry is less associated with overcapacity at the world level than is the case in the beef sector. In the more developed pig industries, processing normally takes place in a singlespecies, large-scale slaughter facility and associated cutting and packing plant producing considerable economies of scale. Further processing can also be undertaken so as to maximise the returns from the pig carcass. The industry generally benefits from a good level of investment and a relatively stable supply throughout the year (unlike the beef sector with its large supply variations).
