UNIDROIT

UNIDROIT is an intergovernmental, Rome-based organisation specialising in the harmonisa­tion and modernisation of private law rules at the global level, through international treaties and soft law instruments in several areas. UNIDROIT has earned widespread recognition for its activities in the area of contract law, in particular with the UNIDROIT Principles of International Commercial Contracts. In partnership with FAO and IFAD, UNIDROIT prepared a Legal Guide on Contract Farming, released in 2015, which intends to promote good practices between farmers and buyers of agricultural commodities by enhancing knowledge and awareness of the legal regime applicable to contract farming operations.
