The WTO Agreement on Agriculture (Article 6.2) allows developing countries to exempt certain investment subsidies and certain put subsidies from the limits on farm support. Notifications to the Committee on Agriculture up through November 2015 show that the amount of exempted subsidies is trending upwards in several large subsidizers and the total exemptions are now larger than blue box exemptions have ever been. Only a few countries account for the bulk of the exemptions, with an extremely uneven distribution even within that smaller group. This emerging picture may raise questions about any differential roles of investment subsidies and input subsidies in the agricultural and rural development of developing countries, the Agreement’s motivation for the exemption. It may also point at different developing countries increasingly having diverging interests regarding any curbs on the trade-distorting effects of the exemptible subsidies. ]]>

Since that time both markets and countries' agricultural policies have changed.
