Framed within the World Trade Organization&#039;s (WTO) Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) standards, they aim to support projects that improve food security, animal and plant health, and the quality of agricultural products. For Cape Verde, a country with an expanding agricultural sector but still vulnerable to climatic and logistical challenges, these funds can be crucial for modernizing infrastructure, empowering producers, and ensuring access to international markets.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why are SPS subsidies important?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>SPS standards are essential for protecting public health and the environment, but they can also constitute technical barriers to trade for countries with limited resources.
