What the programme does

  • Support for government-to-government food trade agreements.
  • Partnerships between producing and importing countries.
  • Harmonised standards that ease trade.
The solution

International trade agreements

Trade is a key driver of development and food security. When an agreement is delayed, people pay the price.

AdvantagesWith the right agreements, food moves from where it can be produced to where it is needed.

Case study

Africa

Intra-African agricultural trade

Regional trade agreements and the African Continental Free Trade Area are lowering barriers so food can move from surplus to deficit areas within the continent.
