The Eu regulation on the import of Agro products from less developed countries like Nepal is very tough to identify the Mandatory, special and voluntary requirements for export to EU. It would be easy for country like Nepal which is a LDC to Export Agro products if such standards for import in the EU could be established by advising country-specific requirements for minimum compliance of conformity assessment.
