This book is centred around various interwoven topics which are
fundamental to policy analysis in agriculture. Key concepts and
tools that are fundamental for the analysis of agricultural
policies and programmes are presented. Key concepts introduced

from the Sri Lankan and other developing economies, the

also highlights interconnections among agriculture, development,
policy and illustrates the extent to which the agricultural sector
contributes in achieving economic growth objectives, equity and
equality objectives and environmental objectives. The book takes
the readers through the nature of agricultural markets in
developing countries, with special emphasis on Sri Lanka, and
illustrates how the degree of competitiveness is measured at
various market levels using multiple indices and methods. Several

and programmes are detailed. These tools include the GTAP model,
gravity models, extended benefit cost analysis, and linear
programming. Tools and models are applied to the analysis of trade
