Global Quality and Standards Programme (GQSP) – Phase 2 (SAP ID 220007)

In 2021, following the success of the first programme phase, UNIDO and SECO agreed to continue the successful efforts during a second programme phase, lasting five years (Dec 2022 – Nov 2027).
In the Phase 2 Framework, four countries are working on small-scale interventions linked to the results of Swiss Free-Trade Agreements (FTA) negotiations. Traceability has become a mandatory quality requirement in most demanding international markets. To demonstrate transparency, traceability, tamper-evidence, immutability, and compliance, it is essential to have traceability systems for agro-industrial value chains that are adapted to new international standards.
Ensuring traceability in the coffee value chain is crucial to keeping markets open, as demonstrated by the case of Costa Rican coffee and its success in the European market. The Global Quality and Standards Programme (GQSP) aims to enhance traceability in Costa Rica’s coffee value chain by implementing specific interventions.
