It contributes 23% of the continent’s GDP and 49% of employment. The continent boasts an estimated 65% of the world's arable land. Yet, Africa’s full agricultural potential remains untapped. Realizing Africa’s full agricultural potential will require significant investment, innovation and technology advancement.
