Agricultural Market Access Database
The Agricultural Market
Access Database (AMAD) is a collection of data and
information for WTO members. It primarily consists of
tariff schedules, tariff bindings, country notifications,
import quantities, applied tariff rates, and other data
useful in tariff analysis. Based in Microsoft Access and
Excel, AMAD is a publicly available information tool for
the analysis of WTO market access issues in agriculture.
The database currently contains data for 50 countries,
including documentation and examples. AMAD results from
a cooperative effort by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada;
EU Commission, Agriculture Directorate-General; Food and
Agriculture Organization (FAO); Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD); the World Bank; United
Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD);
and USDA Economic Research Service.
