Projects
| develoPPP Project: | Merckens development support has supported Weiling Gmbh in the development and implementation of the develoPPP project in Tunisia to foster the organic sector. Two main aims were reached through the project: On the one hand, selected farmers were strengthened through training, consulting services, the provision of yield and market studies on specific agricultural products and the construction of the vegetable drying plant. On the other hand an association of producers, processors and traders of organic products was established, which appealed to Tunisian farmers who converted from conventional to organic or biodynamic farming.
Project Duration: 2016 – 2018 |
