This research paper, published in December 2007 by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and the World Conservation Union (IUCN), provides a Rapid Trade and Environment Assessment (RTEA) of organic agriculture in Lao PDR. It examines the intersection of trade policies, environmental sustainability, and the growth of the organic sector, highlighting the potential for organic products to improve farmer livelihoods and environmental health while facing challenges in certification and market access.

• In 2005, agriculture contributed 47% of the GDP and employed 77% of the workforce in Lao PDR, with an annual growth rate of 3.6%.
• Lao PDR has transitioned from a centrally planned economy to a market-oriented one since 1986 through the New Economic Mechanism (NEM), joining ASEAN in 1997 and the WTO in 1997.
• The document identifies several trade-related opportunities for organic products, including the use of GSP and NTR status to access markets in ASEAN, Japan, and the EU, as well as attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI).
• Environmental and social risks associated with organic trade include the potential for land grabbing, the displacement of local communities, and the risk of GMO contamination.
