There is a fast growing gap between food supplies in transitional countries
and the rest of the world. While some countries enjoy surplus food production
- others are confronted with famine. Agriculture is now a global business with
important developments constantly reshaping the competitive field for all
players. Some organisations have the ability to adapt and change, while
others are left behind. This programme aims to increase participants capacity
in order to gain a stronger position in the global marketplace.

One of the greatest challenges posed in transitional countries lies in the
question of how to market agricultural products grown in hard labour- both
inland and for export. Professional agricultural marketing is regarded as a
solution to seasonal agricultural surpluses and shortages of food supply, as
well as a means of generating greater income.

For agricultural products to be successfully marketed there must be effective
marketing channels that comprise infrastructure and facilities; including
storage, handling, transport, processing, packaging and retail. Businessmen
need to take into account product location; timing; quantity; quality; price and
all additional information that producers and consumers need to make
advantageous decisions. The circumstances create an ever growing need for
all small farmers- from suppliers to marketing firms and processing
companies- to better interact with each other for the mutual benefit of all
parties.

If agricultural development is to progress, investment in research and
development (R&D), is vital for product variety, post-harvest and processing,
farm mechanisation and food quality control. Because R&D is one of the most
significant components of successful agribusiness, it is covered extensively in
this programme.

In the Team Workshop participants will refine an agricultural project that
answers to the needs in their country. They will arrive at Galilee Institute with
a project plan formulated ahead of time and ready to be considered, and will
go home with the tools necessary to successfully implement it.

Participants will learn to recognise, understand and establish the components
that make up the supply chain and connect producers to consumers; as each
link contributes to the quality of the final product offered to the customer.
They will acquire techniques and outlines for agribusiness initiatives, and for
processing and marketing agricultural products. They will learn how to
effectively deal with the price risk that agricultural producers, processors and
the agribusiness sector face in a global marketplace, and will acquire the

farming.
