Originally developed to accompany Working Paper No. 90 "Incorporating Nutritional Accounts in the GTAP Data Base"

I.   SUMMARY

This version of GTAP uses a 25-good, 3-region aggregation. A simulation that eliminates import tariffs on agricultural and food commodities is implemented in this version.

II.   REGIONS AND COMMODITIES

The regions are:
HIGH	Regions with high per capita caloric consumption (>3500 kcal per day)
MED	Regions with medium per capita caloric consumption (2500-3500 kcal per day)
LOW	Regions with low per capita caloric consumption (<2500 kcal per day)

The 25 goods are:
pdr	Paddy rice	(pdr)
wht	Wheat	(wht)
gro	Cereal grains nec (gro)
v_f	Vegetables, fruit, nuts	(vfn)
osd	Oil seeds	(osd)
c_b	Sugar cane, sugar beet	(c_b)
xagr	Other agriculture	(pfb,wol,frs)
