``Biodiversity and proteins`` project in Southern Togo
Development of a sector of forgotten legumes
As part of a partnership launched in June 2020, AFDI (Association Agriculteurs Français et Développement International) is supporting UROPC-M (Farmers’ Organization of the Maritime Region, in southern Togo) in the diversification and development of three legume crops: pigeon pea, bambara-bean and groundnut. While providing local proteins to the population, the project aims to increase the added value generated by these productions by developing efficient local processing and marketing channels.
