What price precaution? European harmonisation of aflatoxin regulations and African groundnut exports.

The  effects  of verying  regulatory  standards on trade  in  agricultural  products are  at the forefront  of policy  debate. A ravity   model   was  employed to  estimate  the  impact   of changes  in  aflatoxin  standards  on  trade  flows  of  graoundnut  products  using  trade  data for  europe  and  Africa  during  1989 –1998.  Results suggest that a  new  European Union  regulation on aflatoxins  will result  in a trade  flow  that is  63%  lower  than  when  the  Codex  Almentarius international  standards  are  followed.
