"In today's discussion, we emphasized three key points. Firstly, Brazil's pivotal role in regional food security due to its abundant agricultural resources and commitment to sustainable farming practices. Secondly, the UAE's strategic position as a hub for Brazilian products, facilitating their distribution to markets across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. Finally, the importance of collaborative efforts, spearheaded by the food and beverage group, to foster dialogue and address challenges in enhancing trade relations between Brazil and the UAE for the benefit of regional food security and economic growth."

Another post card from Standards Association of Zimbabwe #WorldStandardsDay2024. As I reflect on this moment, I thought of adding a fresh view by linking it to 3 events #WorldFoodDay, #RCZZIRS and #DIFSC which have also occurred in the same month: 1️⃣ World Standards Day 2024: Theme: ''SHARED VISION FOR A BETTER WORLD: FOCUSING ON SDG 9: INDUSTRY, INNOVATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE'' 2️⃣ Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) World Food Day 2024 - Theme: ''Right to foods for a better life and a better future" 3️⃣ Research Council of Zimbabwe 13th Zimbabwe International Research Symposium (RCZ ZIRS) - Theme: ''Enhancing Research and innovation for sustainable industrialisation.'' 4️⃣ 18th Dubai International Food Safety Conference (DIFSC) - Theme: ''Future Foresight in food safety.'' The common theme in all the four events/commemorations is a #futuristic view of #systems, #research, #industry, #innovation, #sustainability and achieving a #betterfuture.

The mission is to make Africa Food Secure. Today's world requires multisectoral approach. Collaboration with sector actors is not only important but a key to a food Secure Africa. #AfricanpresidentforAgriculture

Remember the story of conjoined twins who, after a miraculous surgery, get to live independently for the first time? My story takes a similar yet unique turn. After nurturing my "baby" from infancy for three years, it had to conjoin with another – a transition I’m still coming to terms with. This bittersweet moment marks the release of a new issue of Food Business Africa Magazine, a reminder of what I've lost but also the start of a new chapter in my career. My beloved Food Safety Africa Magazine may no longer exist independently, but now I’ve adopted all our food industry publications. These include MILLING Middle East & Africa Magazine, Dairy Business Africa Magazine, the newly conjoined Food Business Africa Magazine with Food Safety Africa Magazine, and an exciting surprise release coming soon. Here are some lessons I've learned in this journey: 1️⃣ Adapting to Change: Change is inevitable in business. New projects emerge, some evolve, and others may end. Embracing change is tough but crucial. 2️⃣ People Management: Everyone is different, and you can't handle them all the same way. I started with one-on-one meetings to understand how best to work together. 3️⃣ Leadership Accountability: As a leader, you often bear the brunt of team setbacks. Ownership is key, regardless of personal involvement. 4️⃣ Lifelong Learning: You don’t know everything. Be willing to learn, make mistakes, and accept corrections. My team are experts in their fields, and I’m learning from them just as they learn from me. 5️⃣ Recruitment Challenges: Finding the right fit for the company is tough—definitely a story for another day. 6️⃣ Making a Mark: My personal mantra is to make a positive impact on everyone I meet, leaving them better than I found them. This journey has been anything but easy. We’re still learning, unlearning, healing, and striving to be better each day.
