In the Nane Nane Agricultural Exhibition, farmers and other agricultural stakeholders (e.g., universities and research institutes, input suppliers or fertilizer producing industries) showcase new technologies, ideas, discoveries and alternative solutions concerning the agricultural sector.

Africa’s agricultural sector is one of the world’s most diverse with unrivalled biodiversity. The well-developed commercial farming in Africa is the backbone to the continent’s agricultural economy. Agriculture plays a key role in food security in Africa and plays a crucial role to the economic sector, accounting for between 40%-65% of jobs.

Farming is expected to remain as an important source of livelihood for decades to come. Africa has unique export advantages geographically because of its location for cheap freight rates for high-volume, low-weight commodities.

For the sector to expand it needs several interventions. These include overcoming logistics and supply chain bottlenecks, implementation of new technology, improving the network infrastructure and governance in municipalities, insurance capabilities and refining the regulatory environment to encourage private sector investment in underutilised land. To re-establish capacity, functioning infrastructure and efficient logistics is key to the continent’s ambition to open export markets.

An upside, there is an imminent launch by the South African government of an Agriculture and Agro-processing Master Plan, along with a possible launch of the Land Reform Agency. For future engagements which need to happen throughout the agricultural value chain to ensure that all food products are produced in a way that is affordable, healthy, and sustainable. All collaboration efforts to mainstream sustainable agriculture between the public and private sector, the conservation looks towards an optimistic future – a future where we appreciate the value of managing our natural resources, creating renewable capabilities, and ultimately continuing our heritage and our well-being.

Drawing on over 35 years of supporting growers in over 30 countries across Africa, UPL is proud to be launching the inaugural Africa Sustainability Report, showing the work our teams here in West & Central Africa/East Africa/North Africa/Southern Africa and all over the continent have been leading over the last 12 months to create sustainable opportunities and outcomes for farmers and key food chain stakeholders.



With 33,000 farmers trained, 92 seed varieties launched and 77 partnerships formalised, we have been working to improve farmer livelihoods and reshape the sustainability of Africa’s food systems while embracing the individual challenges and opportunities facing farmers.



As the first global agribusiness to dedicate a standalone sustainability report for operations across the African continent, today’s launch reinforces the importance that we place on our key sustainability pillars: training, technology, food chain, partnerships, OpenHearts, and the work that we are doing to support growers and partners at all levels.
