“…SPS and TBT could have an impact on export value and export volumes (Melo, 2014;Otsuki et al, 2001;Wilson and Otsuki, 2004;Gebrehiwet et al, 2007;Disdier et al, 2008) and have a greater impact when developed countries apply (Melo et al, 2014). The negative impact of non-tariff measure is perceived by developing countries or countries with low income (Swinnen and Vandemoortele, 2011;Yue et al, 2010;Jongwanich, 2009;Chen et al, 2008;Disdier et al, 2008;Henson and Loader, 2001).…”

Increased awareness of food safety issues has resulted in non-tariff measure in the form of sanitary and phytosanitary, technical barrier to trade applied to various importing countries. The policy is widely applied by various countries on agricultural commodities, especially Cocoa. Cocoa is Indonesia's flagship commodity exported to many countries. The purpose of this research is to analyze the implementation and impact of non tariff measure on Indonesian cocoa exports. The model used in this research is to estimate the result of inventory approach in gravity model. The results show that Sanitary and Phytosanitary policy has an effect on decreasing export value of Indonesian Cocoa while Technical Barrier to Trade has no significant effect. SPS policy is mostly applied to Cocoa Beans while TBT is more applied to processed cocoa. So, Indonesia needs to improve the processing of cocoa beans such as cacao shells, cacao paste, cacao butter, cacao powder, chocolate and other preparations. The government needs to provide socialization to Indonesian cocoa agribusiness entrepreneurs in the implementation of sanitary and phytosanitary policy. Government programs or policies are designed according to the characteristics of SPS and TBT.

“…Thus, the analysis of the impact of the aforementioned EU market conditions in the food sector on Africa's exports along the extensive margin is crucial to understanding the process of entry and exist in export markets and also identify which factor may be the biggest constraint to Africa's export competiveness. For instance, studies that look at the impact of EU market conditions in the food sector on Africa's exports have predominantly focused on the intensive margin (Otsuki et al., ; Gebrehiwet et al., ). However, the implications of EU food regulations on market access at the extensive margin of trade have received less attention.…”

European Union Market Access Conditions and Africa's Extensive Margin of Food Trade

This paper examines the impact of two European Union (EU) market access regulations in the food sector presumed to simultaneously affect firms’ decisions to export food products to the EU. We analysed EU pesticide standards on African exports alongside a complementary non‐tariff measure in the form of a minimum entry price regulation, which aims to protect EU growers of certain fruits and vegetables against international competition. Analysis was based on Africa's exports of tomatoes, oranges, and lime and lemon to the EU between 2008 and 2013, using the gravity model of trade. Our results show that EU market access conditions constitute significant barrier to the formation of new trade relation between the EU and Africa. In addition, initiation of trade relationships is contingent not only on market access conditions but also on domestic market constraints in Africa. These results imply that negotiating preferential entry prices duties and the removal of domestic market restraints as well as strengthening domestic capacity to comply with EU standards to enhance continuous market access for the continent could stimulate food trade along the extensive margin.

“…Secondly, the proliferation of sanitary and phyto-sanitary (SPS) and other non-tariff measures (NTMs) as a global phenomenon that is now becoming a key obstacle to South Africa's agricultural trade in general (Gebrehiwet, Ngqangweni and Kirsten, 2007). Thirdly, stagnating global consumption, which is putting the industry under pressure while rising costs of production are affecting global competitiveness (Edmonds, 2013).…”

The article identifies South Africa's strategic citrus markets among its major export partners using three complementary methodologies. Firstly, South Africa's major markets for citrus are characterised according to a growth-share matrix to identify strategic country markets. Secondly, the paper uses an Indicative Trade Potential analysis to identify strategic markets that are high potential export countries. Thirdly, a gravity model is used to identify which strategic high potential markets are encouraging South African citrus exports. Out of South Africa's 51 major citrus export destinations, 44 countries are considered "strategic" markets. From these 44 strategic markets, 26 are high potential markets. Among the 26 high potential markets, an identified 17 countries represent the most attractive markets that possess opportunities for greater export expansion. These 17 countries can be prioritised for an export promotion strategy: six are in the EU, four are in Asia, and two are in Eastern Europe; while three are from Middle East and two from North America. The paper concludes that more aggressive trade policy efforts should also be directed towards nine countries which are "high potential markets", but exhibit trade-inhibiting features discouraging South Africa's citrus exports. Trade facilitation efforts and bilateral agreements with such countries could be considered as an option to "lock in" the benefits of unexploited export potential in key strategic citrus export markets.
