Agricultural Policy Forum

Agricultural Policy Forum (APF) is a two-day event on regional agricultural policy in SEE organized by SWG, involving relevant regional and international stakeholders, resulting in regional policy recommendations. It has been organized on an annual basis since 2001 to serve as a wide platform for discussions and recommendations on regional policy issues in agriculture and rural development in SEE.

Starting with the first Agricultural Policy Forum in November 2001, a series of events have been organized apart from the two events in Leipzig and one in Dresden, Germany, and the meetings held in Romania, Albania, Macedonia/Serbia, Bulgaria and Montenegro. The theme of all events was the agricultural and rural transition process in SEE countries. One of the main achievements was the formation of the Regional Rural Development Standing Working Group (SWG) in SEE.
