Tóm tắt

Since their independence in 1991, the CIS countries have experienced significant changes in their agriculture and food sectors. After a decade of contraction, agricultural production in most CIS countries has recovered or stabilized in the past few years. Some countries have recorded impressive rates of growth. While achieving much progress in transitioning towards the market economy and integrating into international markets, they face great challenges in further unleashing their potentials in the agriculture sector and in benefiting more from international trade. One of the remaining tasks is reforming their food safety and agricultural health management systems. This note highlights the main issues involved and outlines a reform agenda.
