INVESTING IN TRADE PROMOTION GENERATES REVENUE
Trade promotion pays both in export and GDP growth, according to this International Trade Centre (ITC) report. The way trade promotion agencies are managed also changes their impact on a country’s prosperity. For every dollar of export promotion invested in a national trade promotion organization (TPO) there are US$ 87 of exports and US$ 384 of additional GDP per capita generated on average, according to the report. TPO choices on goals, clients, sectors and activities affect their impact, it says.

The findings inform policymakers about the benefits of the trade and challenges still facing smallholders following conflicting media reports on the impact of higher quinoa prices.
