FTA - Free trade agreements study - 2024

FREE TRADE AGREEMENTS - This interactive infographic complements the JRC scientific report "Cumulative economic impact of upcoming trade agreements on EU agriculture - 2024 update", a study carried out by the European Commission - Joint Research Centre (JRC) that presents potential effects of 10 upcoming free trade agreements (FTAs) under the current EU trade agenda. It quantifies the cumulative sectoral impacts in terms of bilateral trade, production, demand and price developments. Moreover, it provides insights into the evolution of supply, demand and farm-gate prices for the most relevant EU agricultural commodity markets. In contrast to a forecast exercise, this analysis compares two variants of a trade liberalisation scenario (conservative and ambitious) with a business-as-usual (baseline) situation in 2032, including an analysis of the effects of the UK trade agenda on EU agri-food trade.
