Policy briefKey sanitary and phytosanitary issues constraining the efficient movement of agricultural products at the South African Development Community regional ports of entry and exit and how to address them 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Agriculture is a major source of exports in some Southern African Development Community (SADC) Member States. However, intra-SADC trade flows as a percentage of total imports and exports remain low. This trend is partly attributed to excessive customs duties, border delays, as well as non-tariff barriers on imported products among SADC Member States. To contribute to the actualization of the SADC Protocol on Trade, selected SADC regional ports of entry/exit were assessed to determine key sanitary and phytosanitary issues hampering the efficient movement of agricultural products and to provide recommendations to address them. This policy brief is based on findings of the assessment and a SADC Cross Border Road Transport Agency report. -

FAO Instruments supporting the Sustainability of Trade in Fish and Fishery Products
2018Also available in:
No results found.A variety of instruments have been established within the framework of the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries, assisting fishers, industry, and governments in the area of management, operations, aquaculture development, coastal area management and post-harvest and trade. Among FAO instruments, the set of International Plan of Actions (IPOA) covers a wide area of fish-related issues like sharks (IPOA-sharks), fishing capacity (IPOA-capacity), seabirds (IPOA-seabirds) and IUU fishing (IPOA-IUU). The importance of small-scale fishers and developing countries at a global level in producing and supplying fish and fishery products put them at the forefront in facing specific trade measures. In this regard, the FAO Voluntary Guidelines for Small-Scale Fisheries (SSF) focuses on integrated and participatory approaches for small-scale fishers to reduce any associated barriers.
