The two institutions have agreed they need to raise general awareness of the role of fruit and vegetables in preventing non-communicable diseases. As a result, they have agreed to work together in supporting the development of national fruit and vegetable promotion programmes, “which are sustainable, comprehensive, and which engage all sectors.”
A joint statement added that they would “support research in relevant areas and to develop the human resources required to design and implement fruit and vegetable promotion.”
