Payments based on overall farming income allow farmers to produce any agricultural commodity. However, by increasing overall farm receipts, they also influence farmers’ decisions to stay in the sector. As most of the programmes in this category are, in practice, region-specific in their basic conditions or implementation requirements, they are, as far as possible, allocated to the relevant commodities. 3, record 2, English, - payment%20based%20on%20overall%20farming%20income

Les paiements au titre du revenu global de l'exploitation sont intégralement reçus et conservés par les exploitants puisque la condition de leur versement en compensation d'une perte de revenu est d'être exploitant agricole; cette perte de revenu est mesurée par l'écart entre le revenu global actuel d'exploitation et un niveau de revenu prédéterminé. Ainsi, les paiements compensent la différence de rémunération des ressources propres des exploitants après modification de leurs pratiques agricoles ou des conditions du marché ou naturelles. Chaque dollar versé au titre de ces paiements se traduit par un dollar de revenu supplémentaire, ce qui leur confère la plus grande efficacité de transfert de revenu aux exploitants agricoles et permet d'atteindre l'objectif de revenu. 2, record 2, French, - paiement%20au%20titre%20du%20revenu%20global%20de%20l%27exploitation

There are two broad types of agricultural taxation in developing countries, namely explicit and implicit taxes. Explicit taxes involve charges on land, taxes on inputs such as water, fertilizer, etc., and taxes on output. Income taxes, which belong to the category of explicit taxes, are almost impossible to implement in the context of a country with undeveloped bureaucracy and information system and are rarely used. Implicit taxes involve taxes and/or subsidies of the non-agricultural sector, which change the terms of trade for agriculture. 3, record 3, English, - agricultural%20taxation

In some countries there are rules which compensate women for the difficulties they encounter in gaining access to adequate pension provisions. Some focus on sex or marital status, or a combination of the two. Provisions falling within this category include different pension ages, survivor's benefits, dependency allowances and derived rights. Other rules make special provison for those providing care for others. The advantage of such rules within a pension system is that they enable women(and men) without a history of full-time, high-paid work to secure an adequate retirement pension income. 1, record 6, English, - derived%20rights
