"Since 1995, Hong Kong has legally imported over 190 tonnes of their ivory – equating to the harvesting of potentially 36,200 hippos." In researching this article, it was shocking to see just how patchy the data is and how little we understand about this trade - despite Hong Kong's role epicentre of global trade over the last 3 decades - and the dire impacts in range states. The picture is bleak. Import and re-export data are inconsistent and don't match reporting in other jurisdictions, making it challenging to know the full scale and legality of international trades. Local stocks are a mystery, largely due to a lack of traceability, creating confusion about how much feasibly remains in the city, possibly as an elephant ivory substitute. Further, poaching in African states has long been a concern, but spiked over the COVID-19 period. It is incumbent on Hong Kong to ensure safeguards are in place and sufficient to the scale of the challenge. We must ensure that hippo ivory within and passing through the city is legitimate and not surpassing sustainable levels. The city took decades to acknowledge its impact and importance to the elephant ivory trade, before ultimately concluding that the trade was impossible to satisfactorily regulate and banning it. We must not idly preside over an under-regulated trade as it wreaks havoc across another continent and drags yet another species to the edge of existence.

21 May: International Tea Day #Tea can play a significant role in rural development and contributes to several #SustainableDevelopmentGoals. When protected as a #geographicalindication, its impact becomes even greater. For example, the export of Moc Chau Shan Tuyet Tea from #Vietnam has more than doubled since obtaining the GI status.

Summer is upon us so it’s always good to look back at some of the great things we’ve done in the first half of the year. Last month, we were thrilled to take an active role in a roundtable hosted by Spanish Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, Mr Luis Planas. Our Managing Director, Pablo Recio Gracia, moderated the session with leading Chinese personalities in the F&B sector, offering a platform to discuss the quality and variety of Spanish products, as well as the importance of cooperation between the two countries in this sector. In 2023, Spain exported 1.9 billion euros worth of agri-food products to China, making it the third-largest destination for exports outside the European Union. The market size and the upward trend of per capita income, indicate opportunities for many Spanish agri-food products.

The EUIPO - European Union Intellectual Property Office celebrates, 🌍🍽️ on #WorldFoodDay as international GI registration authority, the power of food to unite cultures and build sustainable futures! In Africa, Geographical Indications (GIs) play a vital role in protecting the names of local products like Cabrito de tete from Mozambique, Kilichi du Niger from Niger, or So Rich, So Kenyan Coffee from Kenya. GIs help producers and farmers preserve traditions, protect biodiversity, and promote fair trade by linking products to their unique origins. 🌱💧 Today, EUIPO, in the context of the IP cooperation project #AfrIPI acknowledges the importance of GIs and its contribution to food security and fostering #Africa's sustainable economic growth. #IP4Africa FAO ARIPO OAPI
