During the training, participants received information on the most effective and environmentally friendly technologies for processing fruits and vegetables, further development and expansion of production capacities, certification and standardization issues, marketing, and accessing foreign markets.
These training sessions were part of a comprehensive program to strengthen VCs in agriculture in the Ferghana Valley. The program included not only training but also consultations for beneficiaries and technical support for the best business ideas.

Why is VC Optimization Important?
A value chain (VC) is a sequence of actions that a product goes through from production to the end consumer. Optimizing VCs increases business efficiency, reduces costs, and increases profits.
The launched program consists of two stages. The first stage, held on 5-7 August, focused on teaching participants how to develop effective business models in agriculture, considering all the necessary elements for successful entrepreneurship. In the second stage, the most promising projects will be selected to receive consultancy and technical support.
