Scoping study for Equivalence and Harmonization of Organic Standards and Technical Regulations in the Asia Region
This study is commissioned by the Global Organic Market Access (GOMA) project, a collaboration among FAO, UNCTAD and IFOAM, to provide information that enables stakeholders and GOMA to develop an optimal strategy for facilitating organic trade (and thereby also organic sector development in Asia) through equivalence, harmonization and/or other forms of regional cooperation. The GOMA project builds on the same partnership that created and facilitated the International Task Force on Harmonization and Equivalence in Organic Agriculture (ITF) from 2003-2008.
