International food and beverage companies are required to manage regulatory compliance across multiple markets.  With regards to crop protection chemical regulations (e.g., MRLs), the lack of harmonization creates trade barriers that can complicate both the procurement of raw materials and the distribution of consumer products.  This presentation will highlight several areas where The Coca-Cola Company has taken steps to engage food and beverage manufacturers, trade associations and other stakeholders in a process to better understand these regulations and identify opportunities where we can work together to promote harmonization and reduce trade restrictions.
