After 8 years of negotiations, the draft modalities text issued by the chair of the WTO agricultural negotiations in December 2008 reflects the considerable progress that has been made to date. However, a number of outstanding issues still need to be resolved before a final Doha deal can be concluded. By providing a forum for stakeholders to discuss the implications of the draft text for developing countries, ICTSD hopes to enable a range of different actors to understand better the issues at stake.
