Africa, a continent of immense potential, stands at a crucial juncture.

Recent global crises have led to diverse impacts across the world’s low- and middle-income regions, reflecting local conditions and differing policy responses.

The 2003 Maputo Declaration aimed at boosting African agriculture requires governments to make difficult decisions on budget priorities. Furthermore, tracking the progress of the initiative presents problems.

To improve the quality of data and reporting for the fourth cycle of the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) Biennial Review (BR),1 the African Union (AU) conducted a critical analysis of the process, data, and reporting

The production of fruits and vegetables (F&V) in Africa has increased 3.3 percent annually during the last 20 years, but only 0.7 percent in per capita terms (FAOSTAT 2022; Figure 3.1).

The need for industrial development in Africa has become more pressing than ever.

A shift from agriculture to manufacturing was one of the hallmarks of job creation, poverty reduction, and rapid growth in low-income countries during the latter half of the 20th century.

Agriculture and the agrifood processing sector play an important role in many African economies.

Overall, the economic transformation process requires both diversification and sophistication (specialization) of a country’s production system.

The 2022 Annual Trends and Outlook Report generates evidence to guide the ongoing transformation of African food systems through well-concerted and targeted policy interventions in the agrifood processing sector.

Agriculture is a vital source of livelihoods for more than 60 percent of Africa’s population.
