For this year, the focus was on briefing decision and policy makers in Agriculture and Fisheries on the WTO related issues with more emphasis on PICTA, PACER Plus and similar regional trade agreements and the importance of these issues to the Pacific and how decisions taken may affect the overall development of agriculture and fisheries in the region.
