14.8 billion dollars was the base amount of export subsidies from the European Union, reducing to 9.4 billion dollars in 2000, making it the world's largest provider of such support (de Gorter, Ingco, & Ruiz, 2002, p. 4).
USD 619 billion is the current value of agricultural subsidies, almost double the USD 325 billion per year reported in 2000.
More than USD 635 billion a year is spent on subsidies in the global agricultural sector, while in the fisheries sector it exceeds USD 35 billion a year.
14% of forest loss each year is associated with subsidies for products such as soybeans, palm oil and beef due to the advance of the agricultural frontier.
