Promoting agriculture and fisheries value chains development in Guinea-Bissau

About this project

The action intends to increase the added value of domestic products in the agriculture and fisheries sectors for economic growth and decent jobs creation. The specifics objectives, through a combination of technical assistance, capacity building and investments, aim to: i) improve an enabling environment for the development of sustainable food value chains, ii) strengthen selected value chains in agriculture and fisheries and iii) develop entrepreneurship in selected agriculture and fisheries value chains. Issues such as the strengthening of the policy and regulatory framework conducive for investment, improving of food quality and safety systems and enhancing access to finance by MSMEs will be also addressed. The action will focus in some specific value chains, namely: the cashew nuts (efficiency and sustainability), rice production (diversification and promotion of transformation), fisheries (safety and development of the value chain, including artisanal fisheries), and tropical products and sub-products (exploring the ¿niche¿). MSMEs will benefit from services provided by business incubators in the capital and in two regions to be identified to build viable development paths, complemented by networking activities for knowledge sharing and access to business opportunities at national, regional and international level.
