Market Development Section

The Market Development Section - MDS - provides expertise in marketing and product development in agro-based and manufactured product sectors in developing countries. Our mission is to improve the export performance of Small- and Medium-size Enterprises (SMEs), and to help create a modern, export-oriented entrepreneurial culture as a base for further development.

In delivering its services, MDS works in close-co-operation with different stakeholders including business associations, national trade promotion agencies, international organizations and multinational companies.

The extent of MDS project assistance is subject to the availability of funds from donor countries, UNDP and other financial sources, including from recipients.
