To strengthen the resilience of family farms in the Cacheu region by developing the sustainable «Cacheu palm oil» sector.

Budget: 
€250,528.32
Expected Results: 
  • Evidence-based, low-carbon practices that increase productivity are disseminated throughout the Cacheu region.
  • The players involved in the management and development of palm groves have objective information on the dynamics of the palm grove ecosystem in the Cacheu region,and decide on measures aimed at maintaining regional productive capacities.
  • A process of securing the quality palm oil sector is undertaken by the players in the sector.
