Bhutan: Modernizing Bhutan’s border management ecosystem to facilitate the safe trade of agri-food products

Résumé

This project seeks to address some of the issues that Royal Government of Bhutan faces in ensuring the efficiency and safety of cross-border trade in agricultural and food products at, behind and beyond its borders. Implemented in partnership by the Bhutan Food and Drug Authority (BFDA) and ITC with funding from the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF), this project is uniquely positioned to support Bhutan in responding to its border management challenges, including weak SPS compliance and risk-based controls, as it leverages solutions at the intersection of trade facilitation, border management and quality compliance. The project value is below USD 1 million and the duration will be 3 years.
