Project Description
The ‘Safe Agriculture trade Facilitation through Economic integration in the Pacific’ (SAFE Pacific) project aims to provide targeted assistance to Pacific Island Countries and Territories (PICTs) to increase export capacity and improve economic growth. With its rich diversity of culture and resources, there is potential for greater trade and market opportunities for small Pacific ACP (African, Caribbean, Pacific) states.
International trade already plays a crucial role in the economy of Pacific ACPs but because of its regional context of ‘smallness’ and ‘remoteness’, there are challenges to accessing markets and improving trade. The unique geography of the Pacific islands and consequently being isolated from larger markets means the costs for transportation (freight), marketing and distribution are higher. Additionally, Pacific ACPs find it difficult to meet international trade requirements and standards which further limits access to markets.
The SAFE Pacific project supports Pacific ACPs to address these barriers through plant health, animal health, value chains and market certification assistance and improving compliance with international standards. SAFE Pacific focuses on strengthening economic integration in the region which will have positive impacts leading to improved livelihoods for communities, creation of jobs and reduction in poverty. SAFE Pacific project is being implemented in 15 Pacific ACPs:
Cook Islands | Fiji | Federated States of Micronesia | Kiribati | Marshall Islands | Nauru | Niue | Palau | Papua New Guinea | Solomon Islands | Samoa | Timor-Leste | Tonga | Tuvalu | Vanuatu
Component 1 of the SAFE Pacific project is focused on “improving and strengthening compliance with international standards” in the trade of plant and animal products. Pacific ACPs struggle to adopt and/or meet international standards which also includes food safety and quality requirements. This limits access to niche and premium markets. Compliance with sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) measures ensures that products/commodities are safe for human consumption and do not carry the risk of introducing plant/animal pests and diseases. Strengthening regulatory services will improve the capacity of exporters to meet requirements that are designed to mitigate
biosecurity risks. Under the SAFE Pacific project, one of the key activities to improve SPS compliance and related services in Pacific ACPs include:
“Strengthening biosecurity services, legislation and protocols for all Pacific ACP countries to align with international
standards.”
The selected PACP countries are: Samoa, Kiribati, and Tuvalu
