In the wake of the Great Depression, many European economies adopted protectionist policies in order to protect their domestic agricultural sector from foreign competition, and laced heavy tariffs on agricultural imports from foreign countries. Germany, who had been struggling with the economic fallout of the First World War for more than a decade, saw the highest increase in agricultural tariffs in this time, increasing from 27 percent to 83 percent. Tariffs also more than doubled for France, Italy and Belgium, and almost doubled in Sweden and Switzerland. Agricultural tariffs were much higher than the average tariffs during this time.
