Dried Fruits and Raisins Trade Awareness Webinar

The Department of Agriculture, Land Reform and Rural Development in conjunction with the National Agricultural Marketing Council (NAMC) hosted a virtual trade awareness workshop on 15 February 2023. It was designed to target emerging dried fruit and raisins producers, traders, agricultural extension officers, and government officials.

A major goal of the webinar was to raise awareness about all critical aspects of the exporter value chain for those interested in participating in exports either directly or indirectly. The topics covered include government incentives (funding) and support measures offered to prospective exporters, as well as the requirements for exporting dried fruits and raisins.
