This is a comprehensive report on the Cost-Benefit Analysis & Impact of Compliance and Non-compliance with Sanitary and Phytosanitary requirement for CARIFORUM Countries. This is based on a study that was undertaken between September 1, 2016, to March 10, 2017, under the Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Measures Programme managed by the Inter-American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA) under the European Union (EU)-funded 10th European Development Fund (EDF). The study, which utilizes production and trade data published by the Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM), demonstrates the importance of strengthening of public sector SPS control systems and implementation by agri-food business operators should be strongly supported by national and regional policy measures.
