A Revisit- Enhancing the Post Harvest Processes and Marketability


In sub-Saharan Africa, more than a quarter of the food produced rots due to poor harvest or storage techniques. To improve food security, the prevailing developmental view in agriculture which focuses mainly on production must be expanded to include processing.

Specific Agriculture Areas – a preview on challenges and opportunities


Ensuring Sustainable Food Security in Africa Old Challenges - New Solutions

The development of the agro processing industry is needed to improve fortification, nutrition and health through better diet.Furthermore, to harness the full potentials of agro-processing there must be a parallel growth of the other sub-sectors in the agribusiness system that includes the input, production, marketing and support subsystems for maximum benefit.

Capacity building for sustainable agribusiness


Most farmers worldwide are small-scale farmers. Most are trapped in subsistence farming, which Keeps them deep in the poverty cycle. To achieve sustainable agribusiness, the farmer needs to be empowered with five pillars with the first three being key.


Ÿ Knowledge by training, Ÿ Know-how by coaching and building up Capacity, Ÿ Provision of high-quality inputs to achieve much better results (e.g.

hybrid seeds, quality drip systems, etc.).Ÿ Finance provisionŸ Creating Markets
