Participants shared their experiences and views on sustainable management practices, innovative approaches, and the challenges related to policy implementation and market integration.By fostering dialogue and cooperation, the workshop aimed to create an enabling environment for NWFP value chains to effectively contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals.
