The project aims at improving performance, market access and socio-economic conditions of the Argan oil and the prickly pear value chains in Morocco, and the harissa (chili pepper paste), Fig of Djebba and prickly pear value chains in Tunisia. UNIDO strengthens the governance of these value chains, improving the productivity, quality compliance and product development of SMEs and small-scale rural producers, and enhancing their position in domestic and export markets. UNIDO also helps to ensure that products comply with the requirements of geographical indications and quality labels, in order to position them in higher niche markets and allow the producers to obtain a premium price and higher revenues. Special attention is placed on supporting women and producers from disadvantaged regions.
