The project's purpose is to strengthen the Burundi Tea Authority (OTB) in order to enhance and improve the production, quality and sales of Burundi tea.
The project's objectives are to:
- support the OTB in the implementation of a quality approach from the field to the client, with a view to obtaining the certification of at least two pilot factories;
- contribute to improving the OTB’s trade practices to secure its sales and access more profitable markets;
- strengthen the actors of the tea value chain so that they can play their role with regard to the liberalisation/privatisation developments underway.
