UNCTAD and the Ministry of Foreign Trade of Ecuador (MCE) will organise the third workshop on Ecuador's National Green Export Review (NGER).
The workshop will present the findings of the joint UNCTAD-Ecuador National Green Export Review. It will focus on sustainable cocoa and derivative products, including organic, fair trade and biotrade produced beans and chocolate.
The workshop will also discuss and validate a National Green Export Action Plan for cocoa and derivative products.
Participants:
All relevant stakeholders, including government and quality agencies, industrial chocolate producers as well as intermediate cocoa processors, local organic cocoa producers, environmental groups, scientists and academics will participate in the validation process.
Intended Outcome:
It is expected that once this national action plan is adopted it will become part of Ecuador's export policies.
