Unlocking Intra-Africa Trade | Beyond The Label

Discover why intra-Africa trade is extremely crucial for promoting economies, leveraging the continent's vast resources (population, arable land), and scaling up economic growth. We tackle the challenges faced by small producers in accessing export markets due to structural constraints, costly undertakings, and infrastructure gaps.

The series calls for the removal of red tape, significant investment in physical and digital infrastructure, stable regulatory frameworks, and addressing corruption to attract investors and foster seamless trade within the continent.

This episode underscores the powerful truth that "trade is better than aid" for empowering communities and building a thriving, ethical, and sustainable future for Africa. We also highlight the importance of succession planning and supporting the youth in agriculture, alongside the rapid implementation of initiatives like the African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA).
