The Problem
The biggest challenge is the inability of African nations to trade with themselves. Africa has the capacity, natural resources and market to engage in Inter-African trade aggressively.
The major challenges that have been identified that cripple these opportunities are highlighted below:
• Productivity of farmers are quite low;
• Post-harvest losses are very high;
• Lack of secondary processing capacity;
• Access to superior markets are lacking; and
• Inability to meet production and contract volumes.
The Solution
AgriCorp have successfully developed and implemented an approach based on the following key functions or activities:
• Aggregation and Supply of Agricultural Commodities: To connect commodities to superior markets, they are sourced from small scale farmers and aggregators; then sold to large scale off-takers or buyers.
• Building Processing Capacities: AgriCorp has invested in building small to medium processing operations to add reasonable value to raw materials before export to clients.
• Training: AgriCorp will handle training programs aimed at developing capacity for agricultural production in Zambia. This is done in partnership with various organizations in the agricultural sector.
• Leverage on Technology: The business is leveraging on proprietary technology in bridging the trust deficit in the commodity trading business across the continent. This solution is called Osisi.
