The International Trade Centre (ITC) is a multilateral agency dedicated to fostering sustainable economic growth in developing countries through trade-related technical assistance. Jointly mandated by the United Nations (UN) and the World Trade Organization (WTO), ITC works to strengthen small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), improve value chains, and enhance market access for sustainable and fair trade products.

With a strong focus on agricultural development, ITC helps smallholder farmers and cooperatives integrate into international supply chains while promoting climate resilience and sustainability. By providing capacity-building programs, certification support, and trade facilitation services, ITC empowers producers to meet global market standards and secure better economic opportunities.

Ecotop collaborates with ITC on projects aimed at integrating Dynamic Agroforestry (DAF) into sustainable cocoa and agricultural production. This partnership supports land restoration, biodiversity conservation, and economic resiliencefor farmers, ensuring environmentally responsible and economically viable farming practices.
