Trainings on the EU Organic Standard for agricultural advisors

The project is integrated into the approaches of the Alliance for Product Quality in Africa (hereinafter: ALLIANCE) as well as the GIZ global sector project “Supporting sustainability aspects in the implementation of EU Economic Partnership Agreements” (hereinafter: NEW). Both the ALLIANCE as well as NEW focus on strengthening agrifood businesses in various African countries by supporting efforts in reaching quality requirements in international trade.

Consulting Services for the implementation of the activities related to the development of the cooperatives in Uzbekistan

Background: The decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan on measures for the development of agricultural cooperatives in the fruit and vegetable industry, dated 14.04.2019, helped to establish the first agricultural cooperatives in Uzbekistan. Since then, only a few cooperatives have been established. In 2020, 94 cooperatives were officially operational. In 2021, only 40 cooperatives were left. The main reason is that local specialists, especially staff of the government organizations, have limited knowledge, information, and experience on the role and meaning of cooperatives.

Consulting Services for the implementation of the activities on the topic of development of the organic production in Uzbekistan

Background: Since 1992, GIZ is supporting the economic development and employment in Uzbekistan. This project focuses on organic agriculture as one potential driver for improved business development.

Agriculture accounts for about 32 per cent of GDP and 27 per cent of employment in Uzbekistan, thus playing an important role for the national economy. Organic production is already ongoing in the country and over 5’932 ha are certified for organic products. However, 5,000 ha are certified for wild collection, making organic farming in the classical sense still marginal.
