“PSH” was again the issue that deadlocked WTO trade ministers’ on agriculture in Abu Dhabi
What is “PSH”?
❌ “State policies on food procurement aimed at ensuring food security” as one news agency calls it?
No.
It’s about large subsidies in stockpiling

Simply put: ‘PSH’, the biggest controversy in the WTO agriculture talks
The misleadingly-named “public stockholding” (“PSH”) could be more correctly called “(over-the-limit) Price support in food Stock-Holding”

So the target of 110 by the conference was missed by 39.
