What is the meaning of the terms Green Box, Blue Box and AMS (Amber Box) in the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) of the World Trade Organization?
Subsidy
The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (1995) classifies domestic support given to farmers into coloured boxes.
Green Box: subsidies that cause minimal or no trade distortion (research, extension, environmental programmes); Blue Box: production-limiting support; Amber Box (AMS - Aggregate Measurement of Support): trade-distorting subsidies such as price support, which are subject to reduction limits.
Thus all three boxes are categories of agricultural subsidies.
Hence, Subsidy.
