Call for Papers

Agri-Food
Trade and Non-Tariff Measures
The volume of non-tariff measures (NTMs) impacting on agricultural trade has increased considerably during the last decades. In particular, a large volume of NTMs has been established (and has potential trade effects) between North-South and even between countries in the Global South. Understanding how NTMs influence agri-food trade has become a issue of utmost importance in the international debate and among scholars and policymakers.
