Agribusiness Congress 17
The East African market is one of over 145.5 million consumers and its agriculture is valued at more than $147 billion. There is ample opportunity to establish East Africa as the continent’s agricultural hub however; the region’s agriculture sector is not evolving fast enough to meet market demands due to the lack of commercialisation, mechanisation and access to information. For us to truly grasp the opportunity for East Africa to become the continent’s food basket, we need to come together and take action to move the industry forward rapidly.
