Africa’s Agri-food Revolution
Our latest market map charts the evolving landscape of agritech in Africa, highlighting emerging business models and high-growth opportunity areas across a sector that is gaining strong momentum.
Today, Africa accounts for only a small share of the global agritech market, an estimated 3–4%, yet the sector is projected to expand tenfold over the next decade as digital adoption accelerates and food security pressures intensify.
Africa, despite challenges, has the potential to lead.
The continent faces a significant agricultural yield gap and high post-harvest losses, but it is also home to a rapidly digitising population, rising demand for climate-smart solutions, deep informal market networks, and a new generation of technology-enabled agribusinesses.
These dynamics position Africa not only as a critical frontier for agritech innovation, but as a defining force in the future of global food systems.
