Value Chain Transformation
Unlocking Africa's Agri-Food Potential, End to End
Africa's agricultural value chains hold enormous untapped potential. Realizing it requires coordinated investment from farm to fork.
AGRA contracted Baobab Impact, alongside Dalberg Advisers, to develop the African Corridor Initiative: a strategic blueprint for unlocking value-chain-wide investments across Africa's key agro-commodities. Years of piecemeal interventions had moved the sector only so far. The underlying bottlenecks were still in place, including fragmented smallholder production, weak post-harvest infrastructure, and thin market linkages that left value-chain economics unforgiving.
Baobab Impact led the strategy design, identified the commodity corridors with the most transformative potential, and built the investment case for aligning public and private capital behind a single continental vision.
The blueprint sets out a clear pathway for making Africa nutritionally self-sufficient by 2050. It gives donors, governments, and the private sector a shared framework for coordinating their investments, and a sharper view of where capital deployed at scale can move African agriculture out of subsistence.
