Trends in food quality regulation: implications for processed food trade and foreign direct investment

Article Abstract:

National level food regulations exert an unpredictable degree of influence over the performance of foreign direct investment and processed food trade. The food trade specifications in the North American Free Trade Agreement and World Trade Organization will ensure that the rapprochement ideals of harmonization, mutual recognition and coordination are recognized. Hence, the influence of these national-level regulations would diminish over time only to be replaced by new regulations.
