Capacity Building Initiative for Trade Development in India

Study Titled: SPS Barriers to India’s Agriculture Export Learning from the EU Experiences in SPS and Food Safety Standards

This project aimed to enhance trade–related capacity building in India through research, training, workshops and field visits. This was a demand driven project and the demand was raised by Indian policymakers and Export Promotion Councils to the European Commission and its member states. Focus was to help Indian farmers, SMEs and other stakeholders to meet European standards and understand the requirements and processes. It was expected that the project would enhance their knowledge and make it easier to export/access the EU market. The project was given to a consortium of three research organisation – Ecorys Nederlands BV, ICRIER and Ecorys India within which ICRIER’s prime objective was to conduct research.
