THE IMPERATIVE FOR AGRICULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
1.9
 
The ‘challenges’ facing African agriculture can, if the sector is transformed, be 
construed as a substantial opportunity to improve the quality of life of Africans and 
support economic growth.
Agriculture is already central to the lives of Africans. The 
continent’s relatively low yields, limited value-added processing capacity, and vast acreage of 
undeveloped arable land (representing ~60% percent of the planet’s undeveloped arable land) 
provides a tremendous opportunity. Large and growing net food imports demonstrate that there 
are substantial markets for prospective agribusiness investors to address, worth over US$100bn 
per year by 2025.

Transformation at the scale needed in Africa has occurred elsewhere at the value 
chain level
. There are several successful examples of transformation that can be drawn from 
other regions of the world. East Asia was able to lift 400m people out of poverty in ten years 
by investing heavily in agriculture,
19
and Brazil was able to go from a negligible agricultural 
producer to the world’s second-largest producer of soy and beef, and largest producer of coffee 
beans, sugarcane, and oranges in the span of two decades, by investing in research and 
development to boost food production.

Transformation is also beginning to occur in some parts of Africa. 
Liberalization 
of input markets, expansion of innovative agricultural finance, and land policy reform have 
allowed significant advances across Africa to be made. Examples of country-specific 
experiences of transformation include Nigerian farmer registration and input distribution
floriculture growth in Ethiopia, horticulture development in Kenya, improved rice yields in 
Senegal and Mali, rapid and material malnutrition reduction in Rwanda, vertical integration 
and agro-processing in Morocco, and cotton production in Burkina Faso. These examples from 
Africa and beyond, are expected to be replicated while taking into account the best practices 
that would enhance sustainability of the proposed interventions.
