Title: Organic Exports - A way to a better life?
Description: This
report covers the activities and achievements of the Export Promotion
of Organic Products from Africa programme, operating in Tanzania and
Uganda. It is written for the stakeholders in the countries of
cooperation, development organizations and professionals, and the wider
public, with the intention of sharing the experiences, successes, and
failures of the programme.
EPOPA leaves behind a very vibrant
organic sector in Uganda and an established sector in Tanzania; 30
export projects in operation; consolidated organic movements;
internationally accredited certification bodies in Uganda and Tanzania;
and finally a large number of people with increased understanding of
organic agriculture and capacity to develop the sector.
The EPOPA
programme, or programmes with a similar market-led approach, can be
recommended for many other African countries. The market is there and
the farmers are there
