Agriculture faces a new societal demand for healthy and quality farming practices for the environment. Subsequently, due to the heightened requirements of consumers on social realities and living conditions in producing areas, it is important to impart added value to farmers’ products with a view to establishing a model of sustainable agriculture by generating a production chain that is more conscious of people and of the environment.  

In addition, in the light of these issues, there is a need to reposition all export crop sectors to empower them for more competitiveness and profitability.

Certification of agricultural products is an essential tool to fight poverty and therefore an important remedy to achieve a sustainable development that will solve problems related to the protection of the environment and increase the income and improve the social conditions of producers.

In order to sensitize the various actors of the value chain on the importance of these problems in the promotion of our agricultural products on the external markets and in the development of our economies, the second ICC edition is planned around the following principal topic: “Certification: valuation and competitiveness tool for agricultural sectors”.
