| Summary: | Since their independence in 1991, the
CIS countries have experienced significant changes in their
agriculture and food sectors. After a decade of contraction,
agricultural production in most CIS countries has recovered
or stabilized in the past few years. Some countries have
recorded impressive rates of growth. While achieving much
progress in transitioning towards the market economy and
integrating into international markets, they face great
challenges in further unleashing their potentials in the
agriculture sector and in benefiting more from international
trade. One of the remaining tasks is reforming their food
safety and agricultural health management systems. This note
highlights the main issues involved and outlines a reform agenda. |
