the study examines twenty-five years of government intervention in agricultural price policy in egypt. the study focuses on egypt's five main crops: cotton, rice, wheat, maize, and sugarcane. it shows that during the period 1960-85, the price regime has discriminated strongly against agriculture. the net effect of all types of intervention, both sectoral and economy-wide, was to reduce the prices received by producers of those five crops. urban consumers, on the other hand, particularly those in the lowest income groups, benefited from this intervention. the study reports the effects of agricultural price intervention on output, consumption, income levels, the government's budget and foreign exchange earnings (copyright (c) 1989 the international bank for reconstruction and development/the world bank.)
