From Farm to Market: Fixing Africa’s Broken Agricultural Value Chains

Africa produces food, yet many farmers remain poor. On this episode of An Hour With A Manager (AHWAM), agribusiness consultant Larry explains how weak agricultural value chains, not low productivity, hold African agriculture back.

Drawing on 20+ years of experience across multiple African countries, he unpacks:

Why value is lost after harvestHow weak value chains create poverty despite high productionThe importance of market access for farmer profitabilityHow transparency and trust improve agribusiness outcomesWhy smallholder farmers are central to Africa’s food systemHow technology, storage, logistics, and contracts reduce riskThe role of government, policy, and AfCFTA in scaling agricultureWhy youth inclusion is essential for sustainable agribusiness

Africa’s agricultural future depends on the strength of its value chains, not just its yields.
