Abstract
The GSI's method for quantifying irrigation subsidies draws on the main components of the Net Cost to the Supplier approach. This focuses on measuring identifiable government expenditures as reported in budget reports and official documentation, avoiding the location-specific and time-dependant problems that arise in attempts to factor in fluctuating prices of water and the wide range of externalities, both positive and negative, that can be linked to irrigation subsidies. The long-term aim of developing the method is to move towards a consistent and internationally accepted approach for measuring irrigation subsidy intensities. The methodology is published in the form of a discussion paper, and comment on it is welcomed.
