Portugal and Timor-Leste have signed agreements to continue their agricultural cooperation, with a focus on coffee development. This includes the continuation of the Quinta Portugal project, financed by Camões, IP, and aimed at improving coffee production in Timor-Leste, a country where half of coffee producers live below the poverty line due to low yields and the impact of rust.
