The structural changes in India and in the global agrifood systems are crucial for understanding the impacts on trade for India, including its trade with the EU. This understanding is useful for multilateral and bilateral trade agreements.
As part of the Seventh Framework Programme of Research, TAPSIM started on 1 September. This three-year project offers a qualitative and quantitative analysis of future developments in Indian supply, demand and trade for the main agricultural commodities as well as developments in the food value chain. Working tools are improved and used to evaluate the impact of trade and agricultural policies, structural changes on the Indian agrifood system as well as on world markets. The project is coordinated by LEI, working together with partners in Europe and India.
