Zoning Identification and Traceability Systems
The ZAITS study (Zoning Identification and Traceability Systems) is a contribution to the international and intraregional trade facilitation process. This regional study was launched by PRINT to document a "road map" in view of supporting Member States which wish to invest in Zoning and Traceability Systems.
Background :
Consumption of livestock products as a result of growing incomes since the early 2000’s has resulted in higher prices and lucrative markets in the developed economies of the world. To a large extent these markets are being supplied by countries such as Brazil, Australia, Argentina, Uruguay and others. This is in spite of the fact that a number of SADC Member States have the necessary natural resources to improve livestock production and productivity.
Therefore the methodology applied in the ZAITS study shall be used as a mechanism to foster investments in the sector, in view of improving exports of livestock products and live animals.
