This event brought together thirty-five (35) participants from the cocoa, rice, shea, fruits and food crops value chain including representatives from two key stakeholders namely Department of Cooperatives, Ghana, and the Agronomists and Veterinarians without borders (AVSF). The West African Coordinator of Small Producer Symbols (SPP’s), Koffi Djade explained the benefits and importance of becoming a member of the Label. He furthered that; “The Small Producer Symbols (SPPs) was created in 2006 as a result of a historical process of capacity building and self-empowerment of small Producer organizations. “In partnership with committed companies, consumers and legitimized by independent certification, SPP fight for the recognition of producers work and high-quality products, a dignified life, and a healthy planet for all. “SPP has its own, widely recognized system of standards and sustainable prices, reflecting the reality of small producers. The SPP Standards are backed up by an independent certification system which grants security to producers, consumers and traders across the globe. “Presently, the label has 125 small producer organisations across twenty-five (25) countries with sixty different products” he mentioned.
