As part of its efforts to develop the organic agriculture sector, promote the transition to this farming model, and implement the partnership agreement signed between the National Center for Continuing Education and Vocational Promotion and the Regional Union of Agriculture and Fisheries of Sousse—aimed at executing a collective training program to organize organic farming sessions for Union members and sector stakeholders—the Technical Center for Organic Agriculture hosted a group of approximately fifteen farmers at its headquarters on June 8, 9, and 10, 2026.
Mr. Hassene Letaief, President of the Regional Union of Agriculture and Fisheries of Sousse and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Technical Center for Organic Agriculture, together with Mr. Mehdi Mabrouk, Director General of the Technical Center, attended the opening of this training session.
The program featured several presentations covering the foundations and principles of organic agriculture, the sector's legal and regulatory framework, monitoring, certification, and conversion to organic farming, along with other related topics. The training sessions were led by a team of multidisciplinary experts from the Center.
This inaugural session provided participants with the opportunity to ask questions and discuss the key issues surrounding the transition to organic farming. The training was overwhelmingly well-received by the beneficiaries, who expressed their strong conviction and determination to commit to the transition to organic agriculture.
