Efforts to diversify the agricultural base, improve productivity, enhance value addition through agro-processing, and develop resilient infrastructure are crucial for Malawi to reduce its external dependencies and build a more stable and food-secure future.
Tanzania is actively working to reduce its dependence on food imports, particularly for key commodities like sugar and edible oils, through increased domestic production and investment in agro-processing. This strategy aligns with its broader goals of poverty reduction and industrialization.
Kenya's agricultural industry is a challenged sector. Its strong export performance in high-value crops is commendable, but addressing the vulnerabilities of smallholder farmers to climate change, enhancing food storage and processing capabilities, and ensuring equitable land access are challenges.
Agriculture in Ghana is a diverse and established economic sector, characterized predominantly by smallholder, traditional, and rain-fed farming systems. It provides employment for a substantial portion of the population and forms the base of the country's food needs.
