Agricultural trade plays a big role in the sustainability of regional and global food systems. For many countries, trade in agricultural products is the top source of livelihoods and economic growth.
The EU-funded MATS project will explore how to improve trade at private sector, national, EU, African and global levels. Specifically, it will carry out case studies on 15 countries to understand the conditions for sustainability as food is traded from surplus to deficit areas, setting a new benchmark in trade policy analysis.
