the industry in question (fruit, market garden products, dairy products,
meat, etc.) as long as processing is undertaken.
IInterDev
Food-Processing covers all the themes in the sector irregardless of
the industry in question (fruit, market garden products, dairy products,
meat, etc.) as long as processing is undertaken. For example, for
cereals, the primary processing operations such as hulling and milling
are part of InterDev Food-Processing's field. Similarly, InterDev
Food-Processing addresses all transversal themes such as quality,
commercialisation, packaging, supply, etc.
Agronomic
information on cropping or breeding (e.g. variety, race, production
period, development, plant care treatments, etc.) shall not be treated
by InterDev Food-Processing in part because the theme would become
too vast to be treated pertinently and because information services
already exist on this subject.
Whatever
the animal or vegetable, the interest shall focus on added-value in
the food processing field. For example, cotton is of interest to the
food-processing theme for the oil and oil-cakes extracted from its
seeds. The textile market is outside the scope of this theme.
Food-processing themes can be identified by sector (milk, meat, fruits,
vegetables, cereals, tubers, oil-seed crops, fish, etc.) or transversally
(quality, commercialisation, technologies, management, etc.). InterDev
Food Processing's first 18 operating months make up a pilot phase
during which the project focuses specifically on three sectors: fruits,
milk and cereals and one transversal topic—commercialisation.
This restriction should allow InterDev to be launched more effectively
on priority themes for developing countries. After this phase, new
themes shall progressively be added.
