Private Public Partnership signed by four (4) parties
The Vanuatu Skills Partnership (VSP) has signed a Public Private Partnership (PPP) agreement with the Vanuatu Cocoa Premium Limited, the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (DARD), and the MALAMPA Provincial Government Council at the Holiday Inn Conference room yesterday.
The agreement seeks to address the Cocoa industry in Vanuatu in rehabilitating and replanting of cocoa plantations, improve the quality of cocoa beans “premium quality” and increase volume of cocoa beans produced, to potentially value add beans locally to produce cocoa mass (paste), to establish and develop sustainable cocoa family farmers’ businesses and to facilitate upgrade of infrastructural developments for effective trade facilitation and enable market access.
