Special Project:
Improved Market Access and Capacity Building: The objective of the partnership, an initiative of the Dutch
Agriculture Ministry, is to improve market access for foodstuffs from these countries to the European market.
The primary tool is capacity building to allow producers to comply with European food safety regulations. For
Asia, the products involved are palm oil, shrimps, fish (products) and, to a lesser extent, tropical fruits
and vegetables. In Africa the focus is on flowers and fruit. The program concentrates on economic aspects
(food safety), social conditions (involvement of small farmers, fair labour conditions), and ecological
consequences (environmental impact of food production).
