It is projected that 65% of the arable land in Africa will be worth $1 trillion by 2030. This provides tremendous opportunities in the African Agribusiness sector however challenges such as limited value addition, lack of supply chain integration, capacity building, technology adoption, strategic policies, public and private partnerships, as well as flexible and sustainable financing schemes are curbing its growth potential.
Corporate Council on Africa (CCA)’s Agribusiness Program provides the platform for members and external stakeholders to share best practices and address policy limitations. The program also connects potential partners and provides business linkages by organizing special meetings in the U.S. and on the African continent to engage directly with project developers, financial institutions, and government officials focused on the African agribusiness sector.
