Mercosur countries look to combat protectionism in agricultural trade (Devex)

Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay are growing food exporters that have an important role to play in global food security, says a Devex report on a recent IFPRI seminar. The seminar featured experts from IFPRI, the Brazilian Confederation of Agriculture and Livestock, Institute for International Agricultural Negotiations, and others, who cautioned against the negative impacts of protectionism at a time when increased food production in these countries could bolster global food security.
