Descripción
FAO’s One Country One Priority Product (OCOP) Initiative was launched in September 2021 with the aim to support more sustainable agrifood value chains of Special Agricultural Products (SAPs), through optimizing production, processing, storage and marketing, minimizing environmental and social impacts, maximizing benefits for farmers and food chain actors, while diversifying diets for better food security and nutrition. This project, “Innovative Approaches for Better Plant Production” (FMM/GLO/177/MUL), is the first global project for the implementation of OCOP, funded through the FAO Flexible Voluntary Contribution (FVC) in Bangladesh, Egypt, Malawi, Trinidad and Tobago, and Uzbekistan. These five countries were identified as demonstration project countries to promote then value chains of jackfruit, date palm, banana, cocoa and sweet cherry, respectively. The project assisted participating countries in initiating the implementation of OCOP in the field through the adoption and promotion of innovative approaches for better crop production and marketing of SAPs. Project countries were supported in their efforts to mainstream the thematic areas under OCOP (sustainable production, storage, processing and marketing), through the use of technology and innovation, enablers and extensive capacity development activities.
