About this listen

Discover why intra-Africa trade is extremely crucial for

promoting economies, leveraging the continent's vast resources (population,

arable land), and scaling up economic growth. We tackle the challenges faced by

small producers in accessing export markets due to structural constraints,

costly undertakings, and infrastructure gaps. The series calls for the removal

of red tape, significant investment in physical and digital infrastructure,

stable regulatory frameworks, and addressing corruption to attract investors

and foster seamless trade within the continent. This episode underscores the

powerful truth that "trade is better than aid" for empowering

communities and building a thriving, ethical, and sustainable future for

Africa. We also highlight the importance of succession planning and supporting

the youth in agriculture, alongside the rapid implementation of initiatives

like the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
