WTO pacts and food quality issues
Abstract
Trade liberalisation, hoped to be achieved through the WTO
Agreement on Agriculture, is expected to lead to export promotion
and import substitution for the Indian food sector. However, these
opportunities cannot be exploited unless attention is paid to two
important WTO agreements – one, on Sanitary and Phytosanitary
Measures (SPS) and two, on Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT). To
maximise the benefit from these agreements, India will have to
improve its safety and quality norms and import monitoring
mechanisms
