Abstract
Indonesian agricultural sector gives response to the change in the international and domestic trade environments. On international side, trade liberalization under WTO and AFTA arrangements have been prominent issue influencing the sector. The ultimate goals of the implementation of the trade liberalization are increasing quantity of the world trade, making the economy more efficient, and improving the welfare distribution among countries. There are two WTO agreements on trade of agricultural commodity, namely Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) and Agreement on Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS). AoA contains agreements on reduction of agricultural trade barriers through gradual long-term reform program so as to generate a fair and equitable market-oriented agricultural trading system. The core agreements on AoA are: (1) To increase market access through reduction of import tariffs and conversion of non-tariff barriers into tariff barrier; (2) To reduce or eliminate export subsidy; and (3) To reduce or eliminate domestic support to producers.
