Market and Trade Dimensions of Avian Influenza Prevention and Control
Symposium organised in conjunction with the 21st Session of the FAO Inter-Governmental Group on Meat and Dairy Products, Rome, 14 November 2006.

Experts and policy-makers took the opportunity to discuss the impact of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) on poultry markets and trade, and discussed possible policy choices and institutional options. The following papers are available for consultation and downloading:

Work in Progress

Development of analytical framework to identify market and trade impacts of AI outbreaks
(to be used in market-related case studies in Egypt and Turkey, and presented in a paper to the November Inter-Governmental Group meeting on market and trade dimensions of AI prevention and control measures)
Development of market-related data base
(which identifies macro, policy, and economic indicators that can serve as early warning of the potential magnitude of AI outbreaks)
Country case studies to evaluate the market impact of AI outbreaks in Egypt and Turkey
(the analytical framework referred to above will be used in assessing the market costs of AI and the distributional aspect of these costs on various market participants in the context of different control measures)
Support for in-house analysis of the global impact of animal disease on markets
