Support of up to €250,000 is available to Irish companies under the Africa Agri-Food Development (AADP) programme, funded by the Irish Government.
The Minister for Agriculture, Dara Calleary and Minister for Foreign Affairs, Simon Coveney have called on Irish business to look into expanding to African markets. An initiative of the two departments, the programme will see partnerships being formed between Irish and African agri food companies.
Successful projects will be based in Africa, and will deliver economic benefits to communities there. All state funding is to be matched by the successful Irish companies.
Sustainable growth
Minister Calleary said: “Previous experience has shown that the AADP enables the Irish agri food sector to partner with African companies in support of sustainable growth for the local food industry.
“This allows markets for local produce to be built and to support mutual trade between Ireland and Africa. The programme for government is ambitious on international trade and initiatives such as the AADP strengthen our existing links.”
Minister Coveney added: “The AADP enables Irish companies to form partnerships with African businesses so that they can advance shared interests in expanding and strengthening the African agri food sector.”
Applications
The AADP provides support to Irish companies operating in or interested in establishing partnerships with African companies in 16 sub-Saharan countries.
Applications for support must be submitted online before 2 September 2020. For more, click here.
