AGP Executive Report

Last update: 23 minutes ago

Regional Trade: Uganda and Kenya agreed to remove barriers on agricultural exports, including discriminatory levies and border delays that can spoil vegetables and raise costs. Export Logistics: Kenya plans a US$34 million cold-chain hub in Naivasha to consolidate regional horticultural exports for rail shipment to Mombasa, aiming to cut transport costs and post-harvest losses. Food Security: FAO urged Nigeria to invest in innovation to tackle hunger, while food-sector advocates called for more storage and processing to reduce waste and imports. Rice Production: Chinese hybrid rice has spread across 90,000 hectares in Madagascar, averaging about 7.5 tonnes per hectare—two to three times yields from traditional varieties. Climate Risks: KwaZulu-Natal officials urged farmers to prepare for heat and possible water shortages as El Niño conditions loom.
