Trade is a powerful engine that drives economic growth and reduces poverty. Through trade, countries can take advantage of global market forces: competition, human resource development, technology transfer, and technological innovation

BTFP and partners are successfully playing the role of key facilitators for trade of biodiversity products and services through:

  • Market information: creation, collection and dissemination of relevant market information on selected value chains of biodiversity products and services. 
     

  • Business development: making available international experts on the selected value chains, who advise the companies on improving their business models and complying with market requirements. Generally, the companies are guided through quality improvement processes, supply chain integration, product positioning, cost-calculation and export planning.
     

  • Market access & consolidation: through participation at international trade fairs, as well as match making mechanisms, such as B2B programmes and buyer-seller meetings. 
     

  • Enabling legislation: through participation at international debates on regulation and other mechanisms having a direct impact on the trade of the selected value chains.
