International agricultural trade is characterized by strongly interconnected value chains. This interdependence of agricultural markets has a direct impact on Swiss agriculture.
Per capita, Switzerland is one of the most important importers of agricultural products in the world. However, products of the Swiss agricultural sector are also exported all over the world.
