Message 4 Food Systems Summit - Equitable Trade

Open, transparent and predictable international trade is central to an efficient global food system and must be governed by multilateral regulations, in order to promote agricultural liberalization and reduce tariff and non-tariff restrictions. It is essential that the multilateral system plays an increasingly active role in limiting and reducing the distortion of trade and production and ensuring the adoption and application of science-based sanitary and phytosanitary measures.
