Australia is contributing AUD 4 million (approximately CHF 2.1 million) through the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) to help developing countries and least-developed countries (LDCs) access the benefits of global agriculture markets.

This contribution will play an important role in supporting the STDF to deliver initiatives under its 2025–2030 Strategy “Facilitating Safe Trade to Meet the Global Goals” which aim to strengthen sanitary and phytosanitary (SPS) capacity in developing countries, deepen their integration into open and transparent markets, and enable them to participate more fully in international trade.
