Agricultural trade policy and food security in the Caribbean

This book is largely a result of work implemented under the trade policy component of the project "Promoting CARICOM/CARIFORUM Food Security". The financial contribution of the Italian Directorate for International Cooperation to the FAO Trust Fund for Food Security and Food Safety funded the project. Italy's National Institute of Agricultural Economics (INEA) was actively involved in capacity building activities under the trade policy component, particularly in organizing and carrying out training in the areas of trade policy analysis and negotiations and quality and safety requirements in international trade and marketing. The book examines various dimensions of trade policy and related issues of relevance to the countries in the CARICOM/CARIFORUM region and presents policy instruments to address trade and food security and rural development linkages. It will serve as a useful guide and reference document for agricultural trade policy analysts, trade negotiators, policy-makers and planners in both the public and private sectors.--Publisher's description.
