#Innovativefinancing is key to transforming agriculture in #Africa, a sector that employs a majority of the population but faces numerous challenges, from low productivity to #climateimpacts. The #InternationalFinanceCorporation (IFC) has invested over $3.2 billion in the past two fiscal years, focusing on agribusiness, fertilizers, and the food value chain. Their core agriculture portfolio in Africa currently stands at $960 million, supporting 68 projects. Key to this progress are partnerships, agri-tech solutions, and #capacitybuilding initiatives aimed at empowering smallholder farmers and addressing productivity challenges. These efforts are essential to mitigating food insecurity and ensuring #sustainableagriculturalgrowth across the continent.  #AgriTech #SustainableAgriculture #AfricanDevelopment #Innovation #IFC Dr. Tony Bello AGNES KALIBATA David Nabarro Marco V Sánchez Getachew T.
