Abstract / summary in English:

International trade in organic products is growing rapidly thus it provides an ideal opportunity for African exporters to find premium export markets. The EPOPA (Export Promotion of Organic Products from Africa) programme was created by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency in 1997. The programme has been instrumental in helping African exporters improve their businesses and thousands of farmers their livelihoods through sound agriculture practices. The programme is up and running in Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia.
