In the course of the work carried out, the main provisions of the Agreements of the World Trade Organization regulating trade in grain and products from it were considered, on which complaints were filed with the Dispute Settlement Body. In the course of the study, official and scientific views were used in the field of the mechanism for resolving trade disputes and regulating the grain sector, as well as the law of the World Trade Organization. The purpose of the article is a legal analysis of the existing practice of grain disputes.
