COLEACP IN GHANA : SWEET POTATO VALUE CHAIN

COLEACP in Ghana: Sweet potato value chain – support to a new professional organisation
The orange-fleshed sweet potato (OFSP) value chain is currently growing rapidly in Ghana, due to both the product’s high nutritional value and growing interest on the international market.
A meeting concerning support for the strategic development of the Sweet Potato Value Chain Association (SPVCA) took place in Accra, Ghana at the end of July 2019. This support, provided by COLEACP’s Fit For Market programme,* aims to help this newly created professional association define its objectives and the role it will play for its members (producers and processors).

*The Fit For Market programme is financed by the European Union and the French Development Agency at the request of the ACP Group of States.
