Abstract

This policy brief focuses on the adequacy of the market infrastructure and better business facilitation mechanisms in the Region for fresh produce. It addresses the current trade, logistics and transportation and market situations, as well as the outlook for the future, including policy recommendations at both national and regional levels. The brief has been completed based on market adequacy research carried out in 2015 under the APP in five selected countries, as well as an on-going business facilitation study.
