| UNCTAD Programme for experts from LDCs on vegetable science and technology |

The purpose of this project is to contribute to enhancement of productive and export supply capacity of Least Developed Countries through strengthening their knowledge of vegetable science and technology.
The contribution to the project is used for participation of Least Developed Countries in a Seminar on Vegetable Science and Technology. The Division helps these countries to derive the greatest possible benefits from this recognition, in particular, to make the most effective use of the special international support measures that are extended to them with a view to reducing their marginalization from the global economy.
Action principally involves:
- Substantive support to LDCs, LLDCs and SIDS in their efforts to develop views or positions of common interest in the context of relevant international events.
- Research and analysis on relevant policy-related issues.
- Technical cooperation, particularly through the Integrated Framework for Trade-related Technical Assistance to LDCs.
The proposed seminar could have spillover effect for all other aspects of agriculture in Least Developed Countries, in particular horticulture export, which at present is a fast growing sub-sector in many Least Developed Countries.
