Abstract

Swiss agricultural trade policy stands-out against typically free-trade oriented Swiss policies. Switzerland, one of the wealthiest nations on earth in per-capita terms, heavily protects its domestic agricultural industry beyond levels seen in most industrialized western nations. This paper explores Swiss agricultural trade policy, its origins and implications by examining macro-economic factors, customs measures and domestic support schemes. It then analyses these factors to produce a set of implications and recommendations for firms and policy makers operating in the sector, as well as other actors who might be exposed in a second-hand manner to the implications of Swiss agricultural trade policy.
