We are aware of the fact that the future of Africa depends on the modernisation of agriculture. Agriculture contributes about 16% of the GDP of Africa and employs up to 60% of the population, but it lags far behind other sectors and other continents. It attracts little investment, but holds the key to accelerated growth, diversification and job creation for African economies. A modernized Agricultural sector is a pre-requisite for the industrialisation of the African economy, the strengthening of its infrastructure, and for the concerted domestic production of food, textiles and processed goods in order to conserve more value within the chain.A more productive, efficient and competitive agriculture sector will create jobs, align outputs closer with industry, manufacturing and processing, stimulating more inclusive growth, additional domestic savings and balancing international trade.
