Contradictions to Regulatory Measures and Their Impact on Global and National Agricultural Markets

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to identify contradictions between global, regional and national regulators in the framework of the regulation of the export and import of agricultural raw materials and food. On the one hand, the formation and activity of international economic organizations is aimed at the development of international trade, facilitating the conditions for manufacturers from different countries of the world to access foreign markets. On the other hand, national and supranational (within the framework of integration unions of states) power structures use various restrictions to prevent foreign manufacturers' products from entering local markets, which, for one reason or another, do not comply with the requirements applicable to them. Based on the study of the stated problem, we conducted a critical analysis of various points of view regarding the role and significance of these regulators, as well as their interaction with each other. As practice shows, the regulation of foreign economic trade operations by international economic organizations and unions of states has a great impact on global and national agri-food markets, the volumes and directions of exportimport flows of agricultural products, the state and prospects of food consumption, is the most important part of the foreign and domestic economic country-specific policies. The presence of significant contradictions in the positions of the states of the world regarding the use of various instruments for regulating international trade in agricultural raw materials and food is revealed. The results of the study can be used to further discuss this problem in order to find compromises in the activities of global, regional and national regulators for the regulation of the export and import of agricultural products.
