FOCUS
Our focus is within the agriculture sector and we remain focused on long-term value, with a
particular emphasis on transforming communities, reduce hunger and improve lives in Africa.
The agricultural sector accounts for around 32 % of GDP (UN) in Africa and is the main driver of growth.
The sector is also labour intensive, generating much needed employment especially among women
and young people.
The potential in the African agriculture sector is unparalleled and one way to unlock
its potential to drive economic growth is by increasing trade and exports of agro-based products to
strong and well-established markets like the European Union and other international markets.

Why Africa?
Africa is experiencing an economic renaissance and is currently – and projected to remain – one of the
fastest growing regions in the world. More than half of global population growth now and 2050 is
expected to occur in Africa. These demographic forces will lead to some of the highest growth
economies in the world. Agriculture is the most important contributor to economic growth in the
region and is poised for significant expansion over the next decades.
We are committed to being part of the transformation of Africa’s dynamic, by
contributing in the trading of essential products from Africa to the world.
Working on strong trade relation and retaining a strong presence in Africa will remain a top priority for our group.
