What is the True Size of Africa?
![Page 3: Bio-resources Innovations Network for Eastern African Development: Bio-Innovate Program progress and achievements](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022060201/5599ff3a1a28ab02098b4727/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Africa’s Paradox!
Africa is the richest continent in bio-resources BUT per capita income is the lowest!
Africa has the largest arable land BUT has the lowest productivity of all the regions!• Import food $20 bn annually
Africa is majorly Primary economy BUT no economy has developed purely on Primary production!
Africa is aiming to industrialize BUT how to deal with environmental degradation ?
Substantial research investment BUT not translating to impactful technological solutions!

What Needs to Happen
Harness and integrate bio-resources into socio-economic development
Adopt modern bioscience innovations as a tool for development
Partner with private sector to deliver innovations to the market place
Establish enabling policy environment for innovation
