10 Keys to Success in Agribusiness in Africa by Loic Kamwa Silatchom Pdf

Discover the fascinating journey of the young Loic who came back fro the US after his studies - like many other graduates- to do agriculture and breeding in Africa. He is part of the new agricultural entrepreneurs (agripreneurs) who upsets the prejudices and innovate in an industry where States could not bring up attractive policies. With them, agriculture is now seen as a conceivable opportunity, a risk we can plan and mitigate, a profitable business. With 65% of the world's most arable uncultivated land, Africa still imports more than US 35 billion of food yearly (ADB). That explains why the French, the Chinese, and other foreigners are running to buy or rent thousands of hectares in our land, whereas our youth keep running to die in Lybia, in Greece, and in the Mediterranean sea or borders.African farmers are in their 50s; it is more than ever necessary to have reliable proven data from the fields, for those who will want to answer the call to lunch sustainable farms to provide the necessary food the population need, thus participating in the tough mission to feed Africa today and tomorrow. There is more than an option, for we know that "hungry people have no dignity". Loïc Kamwa Silatchom is a young entrepreneur in the agribusiness with42 hectares of farm in Bafia Cameroun. His dream is to become the leading corn and broiler producer in Africa by 2050, for Africa's population will then be around 2.5 billion souls and the first need will be the food. He graduated from PKFokam Institute of Excellence in Yaoundé and holds a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from SUNY Canton State University of New York. He also lunched the vocational training center of excellence in Agriculture nicknamed Agribusiness Academy in Bafia.

Successes in African Agriculture by Haggblade, Steven,Hazell, Peter B. R. Pdf

Sub—Saharan Africa is one of the poorest regions of the world. Because most Africans work in agriculture, escaping such dire poverty depends on increased agricultural productivity to raise rural incomes, lower food prices, and stimulate growth in other economic sectors. Per capita agricultural production in sub—Saharan Africa has fallen, however, for much of the past half—century. Successes in African Agriculture investigates how to reverse this decline. Instead of cataloging failures, as many past studies have done, this book identifies episodes of successful agricultural growth in Africa and identifies processes, practices, and policies for accelerated growth in the future. The individual studies follow developments in, among other areas, the farming of maize in East and Southern Africa, cassava across the middle belt of Africa, cotton in West Africa, horticulture in Kenya, and dairying in East Africa. Drawing on these case studies and on consultations with agricultural specialists and politicians from across sub—Saharan Africa -- undertaken in collaboration with the African Union's New Partnership for Africa's Development -- the contributors identify two key determinants of positive agricultural performance: agricultural research to provide more productive and sustainable technologies to farmers and a policy framework that fosters market incentives for increasing production. The contributors discuss how the public and private sectors can best coordinate the convergence of both factors. Given current concerns about global food security, this book provides timely and important resources to policymakers and development specialists concerned with reversing the negative trends in food insecurity and poverty in Africa.

Agripreneurship across Africa by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations Pdf

This publication aims to inspire budding entrepreneurs in Africa to consider business opportunities in agriculture and agro-industry, broadly defined. It is intended to be a promotional tool, as a sort of call to arms, particularly for women and youth. It also aims to serve as an educational tool and knowledge product in business schools and entrepreneurship incubator programmes for case study-based learning on operating an agribusiness or agro-industry enterprise in Africa. The publication offers guidance to agripreneurs on how to overcome or avoid potential pitfalls and learn from the paths set out by the 12 agripreneurs, whose stories reflect real-life experiences of agribusiness development in Africa. It should be seen as a collection of resources on agripreneurship, focused on these four topical areas: scale, women, youth, and challenging environments, while providing guiding advice for agripreneurs and policy-makers. In addition to educating entrepreneurs, it is important to highlight the fundamental role of policy-makers in shaping the enabling environment for agripreneurship. In this context, the publication aims to provide concrete policy recommendations on how to improve the enabling environment for agripreneurship, based on the advice of the 12 agripreneurs featured here. The aim is to guide policy-makers to improve these targeted areas, and inspire them to do so by providing accounts of successful agripreneurs who have built businesses with positive economic, social and environmental impacts on national development.

Agricultural value chain finance innovations and lessons by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations,African Rural and Agricultural Credit Association Pdf

Value chain finance arrangements and related innovations hold great potential for financial inclusion in agriculture and food systems, particularly in the context of tight value chains and for addressing the short term financial needs of the various actors. These can also contribute to linking financially excluded actors with financial institutions in the formal sector. This publication makes an important contribution to the expanding literature on agricultural value chain financing approaches by providing an overview of innovations and best practices from across Sub-Saharan Africa through 22 case studies. The chosen cases are of varying length and complexity. The emphasis is on learning from the practices which are presented. The synthesis document included within the publication is designed to introduce the cases, provide comparisons and discuss lessons learned. It is hoped that this publication will become a useful reference material for trainers and practitioners interested in the diverse experiences and latest innovations in business models, approaches, instruments and arrangements that contribute to improving access to finance for a host of agrifood value chain actors including small farmers, women and youths in Africa.

The New Harvest by Calestous Juma Pdf

African agriculture is currently at a crossroads, at which persistent food shortages are compounded by threats from climate change. But, as this book argues, Africa can feed itself in a generation and can help contribute to global food security. To achieve this Africa has to define agriculture as a force in economic growth by advancing scientific and technological research, investing in infrastructure, fostering higher technical training, and creating regional markets.
