Consumer support estimate
The Consumer support estimate is an OECD indicator of the annual monetary value of gross transfers to consumers of agricultural commodities, measured at the farm gate level, arising from policy measures which support agriculture, regardless of their nature, objectives or impacts on consumption of farm products. The CSE can be expressed in monetary terms; as a ratio to the value of consumption expenditure valued at farm gate prices, including budgetary support to consumers ; or as a ratio to the value of consumption expenditure valued at world market prices, without budgetary support to consumers.
