With the invaluable support of IBF and Business ACP, the COMESA Business Council (CBC) is proud to introduce the groundbreaking Local Sourcing for Partnerships (LSP) initiative. This pioneering program is poised to revolutionize the involvement of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in value chains across the COMESA region, fostering inclusivity and driving sustainable economic growth.
As the cornerstone of the LSP initiative, CBC is honored to host a comprehensive and transformative training workshop from 21st – 23rd May 2024, in the vibrant city of Lilongwe, Malawi. This three-day event is meticulously designed to equip SMEs, with a particular focus on agro-product suppliers, with the essential skills and knowledge to thrive in today’s competitive markets. Participants will receive in-depth training on the globally recognized Global Food Safety Management Systems, specifically the HACCP standard, paving the way for seamless integration into corporate supply chains and regional value networks.
The workshop will unfold in two distinct phases:
1. Two-Day Intensive Training Workshop: Led by renowned industry experts in quality standards, this immersive training session will provide participants with invaluable insights, best practices, and practical guidance to enhance their business operations and meet the rigorous demands of modern supply chains.
2. One-Day Buyer-Seller Meeting: This dynamic event will offer an unparalleled platform for SMEs to connect with potential corporate buyers from the retail, hospitality, and manufacturing sectors. The highlight of the meeting will be a mini exhibition, allowing suppliers to showcase their products for sampling and testing by interested buyers, fostering potential collaborations and business opportunities.
This is an excellent opportunity to unlock your business’s full potential and forge valuable partnerships that will propel your growth to new heights!
