Description

Timor-Leste Agribusiness Development Project focuses on several value chains, most of them destined for export: coffee, cacao, commercial fruit, industrial cassava, vanilla, black pepper, cloves, and moringa oleifera.  The project’s activities focus on training extension farmers, agricultural producers, and agribusiness owners on crop certifications, post-harvest handling, and marketing; increasing private sector involvement and leveraging links with buyers; and building a robusta coffee wet processing plant.
