AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoTrade Shock: The US plans to end South Africa’s AGOA benefits from January 2027, putting preferential access for farm exports such as citrus under pressure. Unions warn 3,000 to 10,000 agriculture and manufacturing jobs could be at risk, though exporters can still sell to the US at higher tariffs. Irrigation Push: Kano says it will commission more than 300 agriculture projects by December. Rehabilitation has restored 1,200 hectares of farmland, and 11 planned mini-dams are expected to add about 2,000 irrigated acres. Market Access: Namibia’s Chinese envoy urged businesses to use China’s zero-tariff access and trade expos to promote exports, including grapes. Nigeria says exports have grown 25% in two years, with cocoa and cashew among the products gaining ground. Climate Resilience: FAO is urging Ethiopia to invest in forecasts, early warnings and action ahead of climate disasters, rather than relying mainly on emergency aid. IWMI also called for digital water tools to improve irrigation planning and farm resilience across Africa.
