Australia will meet with the United States, the European Union, India and Brazil for trade talks in Sao Paolo this weekend. The key discussion point will be working through a system that could be acceptable to the World Trade Organisation's 148 members to slash agricultural protection.
* India and Brazil are members of the G20, a group of large developing countries that effectively stymied the last meeting of trade ministers in Mexico last year.
* The EU and US have proposed a hybrid system to rein in tariffs on agricultural products, but Australia and other agricultural nations believe it does not go far enough.
