Overview

This book provides exclusive information on how agribusinesses could act as the springboard for inclusive economic growth critical for socioeconomic transformation of Africa. It is a must read for academics, practitioners, policymakers, students, and all those interested in the application of practical models capable of tackling the endemic poverty situation in Africa using agribusiness as the launchpad.

Key Focus

The book emphasizes the urgent need for robust and inward-looking enabling policy frameworks to help remove existing constraints on agro-industrialization and encourage investments. Thus, the book sets the agenda for the right combination of agricultural, industrial, and trade policies critical in promoting sustainable agricultural commodity value chains and food systems for inclusive growth and poverty reduction. Written in a simple, plain, and accessible language devoid of technical jargons, the book makes an interesting read for even the non-expert and is a valuable reference material for academic and practical training of students and practitioners.
