Reasonable Fresh Trade between USA and Africa.

Africans farmers to Americans and Chinese agro 4.0.

An UNCTAD analysis of African food trade identified tea and potatoes as good examples of how agricultural "value chains" can be built on the continent.

The assessment, part of the report From Regional Economic Communities to a Continental Free Trade Area, also looked at highly-traded commodities in Africa such as avocados, cashews, onions, pineapples, beef and poultry.

Tea and potatoes show potential of intra-Africa agricultural trade

Fysal Fresh Produce, one of the biggest fresh produce retail chains in northern Namibia, has been operating at the hub for a month now.

The company trades in fruit and vegetables sourced mainly from South Africa with about 44% of fresh produce coming from local producers.

Part and parcel of the new opportunities in the CFTA will be building agricultural value chains across the continent, so that the activities that add value to food as it moves from the farm to fork happen in Africa.

At present food production on the continent is in general characterized by low productivity and high unit costs. This is why, for example, frozen poultry from Brazil outcompetes fresh poultry from Mozambique in regional markets.

But The international trade in fresh fruit increased by an average of 2 million tonnes per year to about 80 million tonnes in the past 10 years. For comparison: in fresh vegetables, this figure is 40 million tonnes.

Rising demand for bigger yields and higher environmental protection has put pressure on the agricultural sector to “produce more with less”. Smart farming or “farming 4.0.” could hold the key.

High-performance communication architecture allows a wide range of data to be made available. This data, which can be made available at any time, in almost unlimited quantities and practically anywhere, will change the way things are done both for our customers and for the sector as a whole. In future, many farmers and contractors will be focused not only on the forage harvester or tractor itself, but also on the process in which it is involved. This focus on processes such as wheat orders or harvesting at customer level will be assisted by process-related systems, for example purchase capacity for crops, dealer service or the supply of replacement parts. 

Do you have any ideas about relationing Shipping fresh, Global agro trade, Agro Barter, Tourism, Health, with IoT and IIoT via AI APPS and software?

South Africa wants bigger quotas and fewer safety restrictions for its food exports, for example tapping that Brexit equals new trade deals. With the US, with China, with India, with everyone. All that’s needed is a Royal Yacht, decent jam to sell and a “go get ’em attitude” — at least according to some of the loudest Leavers.

Which country give you more confidence? China or USA?

t is old news that China has aggressive commercial ambitions in Africa, but fresh numbers reveal the depth of China’s success—and raise the stakes for U.S. dithering.

A recent Ernst & Young report shows that China more than doubled its foreign direct investment (FDI) projects in Africa in 2016, and that the value of these projects outweighs U.S. investments by a factor of 10. Moreover, China’s Commerce Ministry recently announced that China-Africa trade increased by 16.8% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2017.

Take a look to this platform:

Kariuki Gaita and John Oroko are changing the game for smallholder farmers in rural Kenya by means of mobile technology. The pair founded Selina Wamucii, a mobile-driven business to business platform that sources for fresh farm produce from smallholder farmers and sell to both local and international vendors and distributors.

Farmers connect to the platform via USSD, and have their information; location, produce type, dates of availability and projected volumes during the growth period documented in its mapping system. “Our system maps out all the farms indicating produce type, the exact location of the farm, availability dates and projected volumes during the growth period,” Oroko tells Horti News Kenya. “The farmer is automatically paid by M-PESA and a traceability code is generated on the spot once the produce is keyed into our system.
