The FAO Representation in Guinea and the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock have validated detailed technical pre-project studies, environmental and social impact studies, as well as tender documents as part of the Dé Project Development of Commercial Agriculture in Guinea (PDACG

The validation will allow the construction of three livestock feed manufacturing units in the regions of Kindia, Boké and Greater Conakry.
