24 African young producers on six weeks' training in Benin

Twenty-four young producers from Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Kenya and Zambia have followed a special capacity-building program initiated by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations. This six-week program should enable participants to be more productive and dynamic in the agricultural entrepreneurship business. It is from the observation that in Africa agricultural yields remain low and that there are many untapped opportunities to maximize sustainable production that FAO decided to step up actions aimed at a "sustainable intensification of agricultural production and the development of value chains ". The training of the twenty-four people from four African countries, six per country, falls within this framework. All of them, as agricultural entrepreneurs already engaged in various activities, will acquire new knowledge the qualities and abilities that will make them socio-economic leaders, main vectors of development.
