Subjects on the agenda included discussions on how public and private sectors can play a bigger role in transforming Africa’s agricultural sector by modernising and introducing innovative technology to farms, increasing farm productivity, investing in agro-related and value-added processing industries, and investing in transport infrastructure and post-harvest storage facilities.
