COLEACP support to agricultural private sector in Pacific

On March 11, COLEACP invited horticultural stakeholders from the Pacific region’s private sector to participate in an online workshop. The participants introduced themselves, and COLEACP presented its programmes and activities, with a focus on what is planned in the Pacific in the coming weeks and months. Discussions included support for accessing markets; how to set up a sustainable commercial agriculture business model for exports to cover losses from tourism; how to obtain organic certification for products; and the use of COLEACP’s training materials in accredited courses up to diploma level. Our thanks to Ms Mereia Volavola, COLEACP’s local relay in the Pacific, for her support in organising this event.

This activity is supported by the Fit For Market and Fit For Market SPS programmes, implemented by COLEACP within the Framework of Development Cooperation between the Organisation of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS) and the European Union, and co-funded by the French Development Agency (AFD).
