Intra-regional trade in south Asia can provide new growth and employment opportunities for small-scale companies, farmers, and workers. In this context, it is important to examine the mechanisms of production and trade within the South Asian region as the context of production, especially farm production (average size of holding, % of marginal and small holders and area under such holdings) and markets are not as different as in the case of exports to the EU or other developed western or eastern countries. Further, the locational proximity of such markets, especially for food products, is an important consideration for promotion of regional food trade through regional production networks.
