Synopsis (short abstract) 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.
