Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) have evolved from being primarily concerned with trade issues to addressing non-trade issues. Apart from focusing on issues like trade in goods, services, and intellectual property-related issues, modern PTAs, especially north-south PTAs, also focus on non-trade issues like labour, environment, gender, and anti-corruption. Earlier, gender issues were generally addressed as part of other chapters. Now, PTAs contain a standalone chapter that solely focuses on gender issues.

Extension and modernization measures of Tunisian olivegrove have come into effect these recent years in order to increase the exports and diversify the target markets.

This paper attempts to forecast the long-term olive oil world price using annual time series.
This paper analyzes the link between joining global value chains (GVCs) and firms’ environmental performance.

Our results show that firms that enter GVCs perform better across several environmental indicators.
