Trade regulatory measures invariably impacts on the competitiveness of the industries affected. Virtually every component of the South African broiler value chain is subject to some form of regulatory intervention, emanating from multiple jurisdictional spheres. This presentation is based on a paper aimed at clarifying the international legal framework governing South African broiler trade and to review regulatory action following import surges from the United States of America (USA) and the European Union (EU). The study commences with an overview of key treaties governing multilateral trade in agricultural products. This is followed by a consideration of South African trade remedies against the US and the EU, focussing on implications pertaining to unilateral and bilateral instruments currently in effect.]]>

0 Regional Agricultural Policy:�What Lessons for Africa’s CAADP from Europe’s CAP? � /svdw243/economic-integration-agriculture-amp-food-security-draft economicintegrationagriculturefoodsecuritydraft-160328132636
In 2003, the Assembly of the African Union (AU) adopted the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) aimed at kick-starting agricultural-sector growth in all member states. While coordination takes place at the pan-African level, CAADP’s implementation is driven by parallel regional and national processes that essentially subject the Programme’s aims to pre-existing institutional and regulatory frameworks within these jurisdictions -- an approach which has historically contributed to the slow rate of integration on the continent. In the wake of the Second World War, the founding members of the European Community (EC) responded to low agricultural outputs and widespread hunger, as faced in Africa today, by incorporating the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) into the EC’s treaty framework from the very onset. While the CAP’s original function (i.e. to facilitate government-subsidised production) is quite different from that of CAADP (i.e. to promote agricultural investment, policy coherence and increased regional trade) its stated outcomes, namely food security, improved agricultural productivity and competitive rural incomes, are quite closely aligned. This presentation provides an overview of food insecurity in Africa currently and how the enforceablility of regional strategies have contributed to alleviating problems of production and trade barriers, with an emphasis on the European experience. ]]>

This presentation prefaces a working paper that sets out to highlight the role of cross-border business law in the context of intra-regional trade and economic integration, particularly as it relates to Africa’s agricultural sector. International efforts are underway to better understand coordinate this nexus, however, within the African development framework, there is much room for improvement. The discussion provides a brief overview of the rationale for regional integration with an emphasis on intra-regional trade and the role of private international law in facilitating the desired outcomes. The operation of OHADA is explained as an example of regional efforts to harmonise commercial regulation, along with the unique challenges encountered within the African context.]]>

South African agriculture faces a significant challenge in terms of visibility in both export and local markets. As markets become more competitive and clients become more demanding, market participants must work harder to secure their competitive (market) relationships. One way in which to meet this challenge, is through effective branding. Sectoral branding, as is being undertaken in the case of agriculture, is a collaborative process between government and the private sector, aimed at managing perceptions of local consumers, policy makers and export markets to maximise opportunities available to industry participants. Sectoral branding may be regarded as a subdivision of nation branding. Nation branding aims to measure, build and manage the reputation of countries (closely related to place branding), whereas sectoral branding refers to the same process, however, as applied in the context of a given economic sector.]]>
