Strategies for agricultural development

The “All ACP Agricultural Commodities Programme” (www.euacpcommodities.eu) was launched in September 2007 as an initiative of the European Commission and the ACP Secretariat. Its roots can be traced to the EU Action Plan on Agricultural Commodities, Dependence and Poverty (COM (2004) 89), the EU-Africa Partnership on Cotton (COM (2004) 87) and a number of ACP initiatives linked to agricultural commodities identified during the Cotonou and Doha negotiations. As a result, this programme fully acknowledges the link between production, value addition and trade in agricultural commodities and poverty reduction.

It has a budget of 45 million euros of which a third is earmarked for the cotton sector.

The main objective of the programme, which ends in December 2011, is to reduce poverty while improving and stabilising the revenues and living conditions of agricultural commodity producers in ACP countries.
