Specific objectives

SO1. Identify, for around fifteen target products (tropical fruits, vanilla, cocoa, coffee, honey, cloves, pepper, pink berries, essential oils, etc.), the types of relevant labels and/or certifications (organic, fair trade or sustainable ...), currently in use, growing or relevant to develop
SO2. Analyze the feasibility of their implementation in Madagascar, in particular with the growing problems of refusals from European customs, market absorption capacities (state of demand) and the organizational and technical skills of professional operators
SO3. Develop a technical roadmap as well as an action plan for the implementation of the proposed approaches for each label/product considered, in line with the investment needs of companies established in the territory (processing of ginger, digitization of traceability on vanilla, reduction of wood consumption for the Ylang-Ylang essential oil stills, support for conversion to Organic Agriculture, development of a regional certification pilot for organic purposes...)
