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).
488.1 million pesos was the Total Aggregate Aid Measure reported by Mexico in 2005, representing only 1.94 % of the allowed margin and evidencing an underutilization of the instrument (SAGARPA, FAO, & Silva Torrealba, 2007, p. 19).

80% of the world's fertilizer is consumed in middle-income countries (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
20% to 60% would increase meat prices if they reflected their true health, climate and environmental costs (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
