To show we are serious about this goal, we will move immediately to curb the wasteful subsidies that each country pays to its domestic farmers -- subsidies that hamper agricultural trade and lead to overproduction and inefficiency. Specifically, we have all pledged to reduce our agricultural payments by 20% over the next year.
