Standards are replacing tariffs as the main trade barriers facing developing country agro-food exports. This edited collection examines thechallenges and opportunities that new public and private standards present to African countries, producers and exporters. The empirical focusis on food safety, environmental and climate change, and social and labour standards; and how they are implemented on the ground. Findings derive from a series of fieldwork-based studies carried out jointly by a group of researchers based in East Africa and Denmark under a collaborative research and capacity building programme. Key questions addressed in the book are: To what extent are agro-food standards andstandard-setting processes changing? In what ways are these standards being practically implemented?Have enterprises in African countries achieved conformity with these standards? What barriers havethey overcome to do so, and with what costs and benefits?
