Provision for the implementation of a Trade- Non- Official Development Assistance for Matching the UK's Agri-Tech supply to Mexico's Agricultural demand, for the British Embassy in Mexico City

Notice Description

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, represented by the British Embassy in Mexico City, seeks to appoint one Service Supplier for the implementation of a Trade Non-Official Development Assistance (non-ODA) project in Mexico entitled Harvesting Opportunities: Matching the UK's Agri-Tech supply to Mexico's Agricultural demand. The Service Supplier will deliver a clear, robust and evidenced based study to identify United Kingdom (UK) Agri-Tech companies interested in the Mexican Market.

This study will increase the ability of the Department for Business and Trade (DBT) to identify business/commercial opportunities in Mexico for UK companies in the Agri-Tech sector, and work alongside the Agri, Food & Drink Attache and Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) to identify and unlock market access issues.
