食品安全和预防措施与增加农产品出口之间的权衡处于政策辩论的前沿。此外，如何制定食品安全的国际标准，可能对最不发达国家的出口前景产生深远影响。这项研究考察了采用国际食品安全标准和统一标准对全球食品贸易模式的影响。该文件估计了15个进口国(4个发展中国家)的黄曲霉毒素标准对31个(21个发展中国家)出口的影响。我们估计，如果采用国际标准(CODEX)，与目前不同的国家标准相比，世界出口将增加388亿美元。
Food safety and the trade-off between precaution and increased agricultural exports are at the forefront of policy debate. Moreover, how international standards are set for food safety, can have a profound effect on export prospects for the least developed countries. This study examines the impact of adopting international food safety standards and harmonization of standards on global food trade patterns. The paper estimates the effect of aflatoxin standards in 15 importing (4 developing) countries on exports from 31 (21 developing ) countries. We estimate that world exports would rise by $38.8 billion if an international standard (Codex) were adopted, compared to the current divergent national standards in place.
