Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) supports regional ‘trade expert networks’ that provide neutral and independent platforms for the exchange of knowledge and experience on agrifood trade issues. Experts include government trade officials, researchers from academia, and professionals from industry associations—specialists who conduct policy-relevant analysis, carry out training programmes, and advise government and the private sector on issues related to agrifood trade and trade policy. Currently, three networks are active in Eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia (EECCA), Sub- Saharan Africa, and Near East and North Africa (NENA). This media kit introduces each of the three expert networks, including highlights of recent work and ways to get in touch.

    A mixture of globalisation and political and economic change in post-Soviet countries has transformed agricultural markets and deepened domestic and external trade integration. These countries are often engaged in simultaneous trade negotiations, each with their own challenges and benefits. Many European and Central Asian countries joined the World Trade Organization (WTO) as a way of enhancing their participation in global agricultural trade. Now the region is an increasingly important supplier of agricultural commodities to international markets. FAO has created the Agricultural Trade Expert Network in Europe and Central Asia to facilitate knowledge sharing and policy decisions in trade development, as part of the Regional Initiative on Agrifood Trade and Market Integration in Europe and Central Asia. The network connects experts from across Europe and Central Asia who research, train and advise governments and the private sector on agricultural trade issues in the region, including participation in multilateral and regional trade agreements. They hold different political views and preferences, but all subscribe to the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and are ready to jointly develop solutions to current challenges.

    Food and Agricultural Organization’s Integrated Country Approach for boosting decent jobs for youth in agrifood systems carried out a digital readiness assessment of youth in agribusiness in partnership with the Eastern Africa Farmers Federation and youth-led organizations in Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda. Over 360 young male and female entrepreneurs engaged through an online survey and virtual focus group discussions that generated insights on their interaction with digital technologies, either as entrepreneurs, service providers, or members of youth organizations. This summary note presents key findings on the following topics: agribusiness information flows, youth digital access and preferences, information technology use for business including e-commerce, e-learning, online mentoring, and online activities of rural youth networks.
