The project concept envisages the identification of two supply chains for the project to showcase the main difficulties economic operators encounter when trading within the CEFTA region. The project team, in consultation with the project partners, elaborated a methodology to support supply chains selection in a way that responds well to the project’s mandate and objectives. The selection of the supply chains was done based on the collection and analysis of quantitative and qualitative data and information from a variety of sources, in close cooperation with the CEFTA partners. The two selected supply chains are: vegetables supply chain and metals supply chain.

Consequently, the implementation of components 1 and 2 will focus on the selected supply chains.
