    Strengthening Pest Control in Armenia, Belarus, Moldova and Ukraine - TCP/RER/3503 2019

    Pests and disease seriously threaten crop production and can result in significant economic and environmental damage. In the beneficiary countries of this project, namely Armenia, Belarus, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine, controlling newly introduced pests is especially challenging because of a lack of national pest surveillance data and outdated phytosanitary procedures. Therefore, this project aimed to improve phytosanitary control services and promote international agricultural trade. This was achieved by providing recommendations on modernizing phytosanitary legislation, enhancing pest surveillance systems and establishing effective collaboration among regulatory agencies and relevant institutions at policy-making and operational levels in the four beneficiary countries.

    An overview of legal and institutional frameworks and opportunities, challenges and recommendations for geographical indication products in Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Moldova and the Russian Federation
    Synthesis Report
    2018

    Geographical indication (GI) schemes can play a special role in promoting sustainable rural development, improving farm income and opening new export potential. Natural factors such as soil, climate and plant varieties play a major role in producing a unique product. Usually, GIs comprise knowledge and skills passed on from generation to generation, helping to protect local heritage. This report is a synthesis of the five national reviews of the legal and institutional frameworks in Armenia, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Republic of Moldova, and the Russian Federation. It has been developed on the expert level to raise awareness and to serve as guidance for further activities to be considered and developed at a technical level.
