CDE. Programme 2006 Fruit and Vegetables NAME OF THE PROGRAMME Processed fruit and vegetables and development of the cashew nut sector in West and Central Africa Duration 3 years Start: 2005 End (forecast) 2007 Beneficiaries : - Producer enterprises operating in the fruit and vegetable sector in West and Central Africa - Professional associations and intermediary organisations acting as service providers in the sector Context : - The fruit and vegetable sector is a key sector in West and Central Africa with high development potential and great impact on rural communities. In some of the countries, it accounts for more than 30% of the GDP. However, the sector faces technical, commercial and finance problems which require external inputs. The industry also suffers from poor management and lacks stringent and safety standards being applied by the industry as a whole. As a result, product quality is fairly poor and the industry is not so competitive. - There is in addition a need for more local added value (especially for the cashew nut sub-sector) and strengthening of local intermediary organizations to support the sector’s further development. Global objectives: - Strengthen existing enterprises making them more competitive on export markets, by helping to upgrade product quality, develop export capability, improve the environment in which they operate and developing the expertise of professional associations/intermediary organizations whose support is essential to the future development of the entire sector; - Increase production volume of local value added products and boost export capacity of the West African region for processed fruits, especially cashew nuts; - Stimulate south-south cooperation and regional trade. Specific objectives 1) Improve companies’ management, upgrade production and processing facilities, improve manufacturing and food safety practices;
