Foreword

Landlocked developing countries are characterized by high levels of natural capital, limited productive capacities, dependence on a handful of unprocessed commodities and the geographical challenges of being landlocked. These challenges have been exacerbated by the disruptions to global supply chains, production and the movement of goods and persons brought about by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. Despite these complex development challenges, landlocked developing countries have great potential to join successful exporters from other developing countries in nutraceutical products, owing to their rich natural capital and resources base. However, this requires effectively addressing demand and supply constraints, fostering productive capacities and putting in place regulatory and institutional mechanisms to meet the requirements of export markets in terms of international quality and safety standards.
