The Agro-Processing Unit in Central Farm held this morning an opening Ceremony for the launch of a new project “Empowering Women and Youths to generate income through Agro-processing and value addition of locally grown seasonal fruit and vegetable”.
The project which is being executed by the Ministry of Agriculture is supported by the ROC Taiwan Technical Mission through its ICDF program. The project will primarily focus on certification of various active processors who dedicate a large portion of resources into value added products.
Through this project 30 participants will be attending a 2-week training session. The training session will focus on certifying and equipping participants with the necessary knowledge to transport their existing product to the next level.
Attending the event was Minister Jose Abelardo Mai, H.E. Lily Li-Wen Hsu Ambassador of Taiwan in Belize, H.E. Amalia Mai C.E.O. of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Immigration, Dr. Victoriano Pascual Chief Agriculture Officer and other Invited Guests.
