Bioagricoop has just edited an interesting report on market opportunities in the EU for Third Countries like Thailand. The Final Report has been completed thanks to the valuable advice of Royal Thai Embassy, Rome.

Foreign market of organic products, like the EU or the Italian ones, is open to any countries of origin whose production system and standard can be proved and recognized as “organic”, according to the respective import regulations. It is up to each country to speed up its own capacity of production and controls so as to correspond to the needs and the regulatory requirements of the importing countries. What should be borne in mind is a fair trade at every step of the food chain and the impact on food security of farmer-producers who are at the starting point of the food chain and should be of utmost concern.
