食品安全与农业卫生标准的扩散和日趋严厉引起了许多发展中国家的关切。它们认为这些标准妨碍了它们在出口高价值农业食品产品(包括鱼类、园艺类和其它产品)方面的持续成功,因为这些国家缺乏符合规定所必要的技术和管理能力,或实施这些标准的方法可能会是歧视性或保护性的。Jaffee和Henson利用现有文献和正在进行的研究考察了与不断变化的标准环境有关的现有证据,以及它对现有和潜在出口高价值农业和食品产品的发展中国家的影响。作者提出的证据(尽管不全面)表明,发展中国家的整体状况并不一定问题重重,也绝不象“标准即壁垒”的主流观点那么悲观。实际上,不断提高的标准起到了强调现有供应链的长处和短处的作用,并因此不同程度地影响了个别国家和个别市场参与者的竞争地位。有些国家和产业甚至利用高质量和安全标准成功地(重新)确定了自己在竞争性全球市场中的地位。这着重说明,重要的是要在更广泛的产量制约和现有供应链的发展趋势和动力环境下考虑食品安全和农业卫生措施的影响。发展中国家的关键问题是如何扬长避短,从而在正形成的商业和管理环境中成为赢家而不是输家。
