The Arab African Trade Bridges (AATB) program has concluded in Rabat, Morocco, a partnership with OCP Africa to develop the skills of 20,000 Ivorian farmers through its program called “Agribooster.”
AATB is a multi-agency program run by the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC).
According to a note sent to APA on Tuesday, this agreement, which will benefit 20,000 Ivorian farmers, aims to support Ivorian rice farmers and improve agricultural value chains in the country.
“The ITFC grant for the OCP Africa Agribooster Program in Cote d’Ivoire aims to minimize the economic impact of Covid-19 by maintaining global food supply chains, but also by improving agricultural value chains of the country, especially during difficult circumstances,” said Hani Salem Sonbol, ITFC Director General.
