SEASON: OVERCOMING TRADE OBSTACLES

How do they do it? Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, MSMEs, account for
95% of companies and two thirds of employment worldwide. When seeking to
participate in international trade, they face a number of obstacles. We feature
MSMEs from all over the world who found ways to address challenges and engage in
trade across borders. The “Overcoming Trade Obstacles” series is hosted by
Kimonique Powell, Young Professional at the WTO.

EPISODE 5: FEEDING THE WORLD: FOOD SAFETY IS KEY TO ACCESSING EXPORT MARKETS

15 DECEMBER 2023  DURATION: 26:30

Episode Summary

Food safety is a collective responsibility. Producers, businesses, governments
and international agencies all contribute to ensuring that the food consumers
receive is safe to eat. In this podcast episode, our guest, Francis Chama of

tackles the issue of pest management. Adherence to sanitary and phytosanitary
measures is key to accessing export markets, explains Simon Padilla of the
Standards and Trade Development Facility at the WTO.  Simon provides context to
the trade policies and collaborative efforts at the international level that
enable businesses like York Farms to supply agricultural produce to consumers

EPISODE 3: GO LOCAL. GAINING A FOOTHOLD IN THE GLOBAL IT SERVICES MARKET

31 OCTOBER 2023  DURATION: 22:36

Episode Summary

Digitally transmitted services are the fastest-growing segment of international
trade. They offer huge opportunities for SMEs in emerging markets and developing
economies. But how do you convince potential clients that you offer cutting-edge
IT services when your country is mainly known as an exporter of pineapples and
coffee? In this episode we talk to Albán Sánchez, an IT entrepreneur from Costa
Rica who decided that the way to deal with outdated perceptions of his country
was to establish a business presence in his target market. Albán is joined by
Antonia Carzaniga of the WTO's Trade in Services Division who puts his
experience into the bigger services trade context.
