APROTELF workshop

A workshop of the Association of Producers, Processors and Exporters of Vegetables and Fruits of Togo (APROTELF), with about 30 participants, was held on 15 March in Lomé.

This workshop, which was part of the revitalisation of APROTELF, aimed to learn about the needs and expectations of companies. Participants discussed the actions needed to support the association to offer appropriate and useful services to its members, while working effectively to promote and defend the interests of the fruit and vegetable sector in Togo.

COLEACP’s relay in Togo, M. Bodomziba TCHALA took part in the meeting and took the opportunity to discuss various topics with participants, including COLEACP’s activities in Togo, the development of a Good Practice Guide for leafy vegetables, and the recent incubator (pepinière) for technical managers in Togo which trained 22 young people.

This activity was organised within the framework of the project “Strengthening of the phytosanitary control and certification system for the fruit and vegetable sector in Togo”, funded by the Standards and Trade Development Facility (STDF) and implemented by COLEACP.
