D3.4. Report on impact of trade policies on agri-food value chains

D3.4 will cover a detailed analysis of the impact of trade and sustainability policies along the agri-food value chains in exporting (‘farm to port’) and in importing countries (‘port to table’). The work will be supported by a detailed analysis of the impact of TRQ on international trade (Task 2.2 in WP2) together with the applied partial equilibrium models AGMEMOD with a focus on agri-food chains in European countries and the COSIMO model applied for agri-food markets in countries like Ghana, Vietnam and Thailand. In synergy with Task 3.2, the impact on different social groups will be estimated. AGLINK - COSIMO simulations for policies seeking to promote healthy dietary choices and fight obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases will be implemented and extended to developing countries. Results will impact on domestic policies design to improve the nutritional status of the population maximizing the positive net effects of trade on nutritional outcomes. Similarly, policies that aim to encourage consumers to adopt more sustainable/lower emissions diets will be simulated.
