11TH AGTS 2025
Africa’s heavy reliance on grain imports, particularly wheat and rice, exposes the continent to global price fluctuations and supply chain disruptions.
Events like the COVID-19 pandemic and geopolitical tensions have highlighted the risks associated with this dependency. The billions spent annually on grain imports represent missed opportunities to invest in local production and trade systems.
