FARMING IN AFRICA
Strategy Goals & Interventions
“We emerge in agriculture sector around African nations towards their sustainable development goals in a Win-Win situation along with our humanitarian principles in order to prevent them from poverty, hunger, gender inequality and our contribution in their economic growth as much as we can”.
Africa has the natural ingredients needed to greatly expand agricultural production. Relative to much of the rest of the world, it has an abundance of the major natural inputs necessary for growing crops and raising livestock, unused land and water.
Abundant land
Of the world’s land area suitable for sustainable production expansion, that is, non-protected, non-forested, and with low population density, Africa has the largest share by far, accounting for about 45 percent of the total.
Abundant untapped water resources
While some large areas of the continent are arid or semi-arid, on average water resources are greatly underutilized. Only 2–3 percent of renewable water resources are being used in Africa, compared to 5 percent worldwide. Although a number of basins are currently experiencing or are approaching water scarcity levels, this is mainly due to a lack of irrigation development or storage capacity, rather than to absolute water scarcity.
Furthermore, relative to comparators, Africa has low labour costs, which should encourage the production of labour-intensive products. African farmers can produce many commodities at farm-level costs competitive with those in other countries, with one factor being the much lower average wage for unskilled workers.
