Enhanced production and international trade is a critical driver of economic growth, yet it is often hindered by a range of challenges, including policy inconsistencies, logistical inefficiencies, regulatory barriers, and lack of coordination between public and private stakeholders. The private sector plays a crucial role in agricultural development, including innovation, investment, and market expansion. However, private enterprises often feel unseen and unheard in policy dialogues, while the public sector faces challenges in engaging businesses effectively. This disconnect leads to inefficiencies, slow adoption of new technologies, and missed opportunities for collaboration.

This initiative will enable both sectors to share experiences, expectations, and innovative ideas to strengthen their partnership and drive agricultural transformation.

To ensure a structured and impactful dialogue, the Community of Practice (CoP) will convene monthly, focusing on a coherent series of discussion topics that systematically address key challenges and opportunities in agricultural trade. These discussions will help both public and private stakeholders understand each other’s perspectives, identify solutions,  align interests, and implement practical strategies to enhance production and international trade.
