Agriculture sector is one of the crucial sectors for many countries in the world. In this regard,
countries apply higher tariffs on agricultural products than on the manufactured products.
Figure 36 and 37 below show the simple average applied MFN Tariffs on the agricultural and
non-agricultural products in the OIC Countries. OIC countries apply higher tariffs to agricultural
products. Countries that have inadequate agricultural production and need agricultural imports
apply lower tariffs on agricultural imports. On the other hand, the countries in which
agricultural production constitutes a significant part of the economy apply higher tariffs to
agricultural imports.
