A new project, supported by the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) and led by the FAO, is going to give fish exporters in the Solomon Islands an added boost to access the EU market.

Solomon Islands’ fish exporters stand to benefit under a new project going live supported by the STDF – a global partnership on safe trade. FAO is one of STDF’s founding partners, alongside the World Bank, OIE, WHO and WTO.

The project, which runs from June 2017 to May 2020, is being led by the FAO, with a total budget of US$508,336. The FAO is also providing in-kind support to the project alongside the government and the Pacific Horticultural and Agricultural Market Access Program (PHAMA), backed by Australia and New Zealand.
