Agreement on the Application of Sanitary and Phytosanitary Measures

Agreement on the application of sanitary and phytosanitary measures is a way for countries to agree on how they can safely trade food products. When countries trade food products, it is important to keep people and animals healthy. To do this, countries make agreements on ways to keep food safe, like having special rules about how food is grown and cleaned. These rules make sure that food remains healthy, even when it is transported from one country to another.
