COLEAD Member

COLEAD (formely COLEACP) is a private sector interprofessional not-for-profit association. Its members are producers, processors, exporters, service providers, related operators (carriers, freight forwarders, etc.) and importers, who are committed to the inclusive and sustainable trade of horticultural products (domestic, regional and international) from Africa-Caribbean-Pacific countries.

COLEAD manages development programmes in the agricultural and food sectors, financed by donors. It draws on more than 45 years’ experience of partnerships and support to both private and public sectors in more than 50 countries.

COLEAD’s vision, Growing People, is that ongoing changes in the global agri-food model will require continuous capacity building and training for current and future generations of producers, entrepreneurs, consultants, technicians and all economic actors in the agricultural and food system. This is especially the case in ACP countries and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, which is well positioned to become the driving force behind a new, sustainable model of agriculture.
