Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) have become an important market access prerequisite for developing-country producers and exporters of agro-forestry and fishery commodities. Intended benefits from VSS however do not always reach small producers and MSMEs.
Issues for Discussion
-
How can we merge consumer and business interests towards “sustainable” goods with development interests?
-
How can trade shape the influence of VSS on developing countries’ market access?
-
What do country cases show on how “equitable” VSS are for smallholder producers and MSMEs?
