Description
The initiative, of 36 months and a requested budget of 2.5 MEUR, in line with the Cuscatlan Plan, national development plan, promotes the restructuring and modernization of the Salvadoran Coffee Institute (ISC) and the National Center for Agricultural and Forestry Technologies (CENTA), entities responsible for research and the transfer of appropriate technologies in the coffee and cocoa supply chains respectively, also intending to improve public skills in the field of specialized, updated and transparent technical assistance services. The initiative includes two components: a. The first involves the sharing of methodologies, tools, skills and best practices between Unioncamere and BMTI and its counterparts at the Salvadoran authorities ascribed to the Ministry of Agriculture as well as the associative expressions of both supply chains. Once the Project is finalized, local counterparts will have to be able to introduce modern services for the regulation and transparency of agri-food markets and strategic commercial promotion (848,500.00 Euro); b. The second involves the practical testing of the skills acquired, on the two supply chains specifically targeted by the intervention, coffee and cocoa. The plan includes study and investigation activities, valorization tools, both paper and digital, in-person and virtual commercial meetings between Salvadoran exporting companies and Italian companies of the sector associated with Unioncamere, training actions about rules to reach European market and about use of standard contracts based on international trade practices, a multimedia platform that promotes knowledge and meetings between Salvadoran producing companies and Italian purchasing companies (1,414,000.00 Euro). The actions to promote access to the market and the formalization of Salvadoran coffee and cocoa MSMEs produce general benefits for the country's economy by broadening its production base.
