"The role of an
agricultural tariff is to provide discounted rates for customers engaged in agricultural activities."

"There is a high degree of variance in
agricultural tariffs both within and between individual countries, and tariff escalation (higher tariffs on more processed products, which gives greater protection to the processing industry of the importing country) still prevails in several important product chains (e.g. coffee, cocoa, oilseeds, vegetables, fruit and nuts and hides and skins)."
