Opinion: We can make agricultural work attractive for Africa's youth. Here's how.

In Nigeria, for example, Angel Adelaja, has built a successful vertical farming business and is supplying fresh vegetables to homes, hotels, businesses, and restaurants in Abuja. Jehiel Oliver in Nigeria is also making a career out of agriculture through his company Hello Tractor. Known as Africa’s Uber for farmers, his company makes it possible for farmers to rent out smart tractors to use on their farmlands to increase yields.

Indeed, more success stories of young people making a career out of agriculture have been documented in many other African countries including Burundi, Cameroon, Ghana, and Senegal. The success of many of these young entrepreneurs is definitely changing the negative stereotypes associated with agriculture and positively reinforcing the message that young people can succeed and make a living out of agriculture.

To build thriving agribusiness, African youth need to tap into these new technologies and digital tools. Thus, there is a market for innovation centers, vocational training centers and other institutions that are set up to train, support and meet the needs of African agripreneurs.

Secondly, incubation centers that incubate agriculture-focused youth ideas must be launched, and the existing ones need to continue to be funded. The African Development Bank and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture are already in the frontline and their efforts must be applauded. For the next five years, under the ENABLE youth programs, and in several African countries, including Nigeria, Cameroon and Kenya, IITA Youth Agripreneur Initiative is expected to lead and administer 16 Youth Agribusiness Incubation Centers and train 1536 agripreneurs. This incubation centers supported by AfDB aim to help African youth to sharpen their ideas and further develop their management and entrepreneurial skills. At the end of the program, the youth are expected to develop business plans that enable them to access the finances they need to roll out their agribusinesses.  

In 2017, AfDB, IITA, the Technical Centre for Agricultural and Rural Cooperation, the Africa Agribusiness Incubation Network and Africa 2.0 organized the first ever African Youth Agripreneurs forum in Nigeria.

For the last three years, the Tony Elumelu foundation has held yearly meetings, bringing together young African entrepreneurs including those pursuing agribusiness ventures. Such meetings should continue to be funded.  

Making agriculture attractive and an easy sell to youth should continue to be among the top priorities for African countries and stakeholders in the agriculture value chain. The time to encourage many more young people to pursue agriculture as a career is now.
