खालीलपैकी कोणती आर्थिक मदत ही जागतिक व्यापार संघटनेच्या 'शेतीविषयक कराराच्या' green box मधे येत नाही ?
(1) कृषीविषयक संशोधनासाठी आर्थिक सहाय्य
(2) उत्पादन मर्यादा राखण्यासाठी आर्थिक सहाय्य
(3) अन्नसुरक्षेसाठी आर्थिक सहाय्य
(4) शेतीतील रोग नियंत्रणासाठी आर्थिक सहाय्य

The correct answer is Option B (Subsidies to limit production).

Key Points:
• Under the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), domestic supports are categorized into boxes based on their trade-distorting effects: Amber Box, Blue Box, and Green Box.
• Green Box subsidies are measures that cause no, or at most minimal, trade-distortion. They must be publicly funded and not involve price support. Examples include general services like agricultural research (Option 1), pest and disease control (Option 4), structural adjustment assistance, and public stockholding for food security (Option 3).
• Subsidies to limit production (such as set-aside programs where farmers are paid to take land out of production) fall under the Blue Box subsidies, which are conditional subsidies designed to limit production, not Green Box.
• Therefore, option (2) is not a Green Box subsidy category.
• Key Takeaway: Subsidies to limit production belong to the Blue Box, whereas research, disease control, and food security are Green Box.
