Global situation offering opportunities to concret markets, for ex.

The UK is Kenya’s second-most important export destination in Europe. Kenya accounts for almost 30 per cent of its fresh produce and 56 per cent of black tea market. After Brexit, Kenya will have an opportunity to increase exports to UK out of EU’s rules.

What is the key for fresh farming?

Desalination of brackish water (100 times more abundant than salt lakes) takes less energy than desalination of seawater and most of it emerges clean, whereas only a minority of seawater emerges clean in desalination.

The pros and cons of commercial farming models in Africa

New from TheConversation.com 

Colonialism brought large-scale farming to Africa, promising modernisation and jobs – but often dispossessing people and exploiting workers. Now, after several decades of independence, and with investor interest growing, African governments are once again promoting large plantations and estates. But the new corporate interest in African agriculture has been criticised as a “land grab”.

Small-scale farmers, on family land, are still the mainstay of African farming, producing 90% of its food.

Contract farming is often touted as an “inclusive business model” that links smallholders into commercial value chains.

Plantations are ‘enclaves’

Our cases confirm the characterisation of large plantations as being “enclaves” with few linkages into local economies. They buy farming inputs from far afield, usually from overseas, and in turn send their produce into global markets, bypassing local intermediaries.

They’re usually associated with one major crop. In Africa, these started with colonial concessions, especially in major cash crops such as coffee, tea, rubber, cotton and sugarcane.

Medium-scale farming: a promising option

Between the large plantations and the small contract farmers is another model: medium-scale commercial farms owned by individuals or small companies. We studied areas where medium-scale farms were dominating: mango farmers in Ghana, coffee farmers in Kenya and grains farmers in Zambia.

We found that they create more jobs and stimulate rural economies more than either big plantations or smallholder contract farmers.

In Ghana in particular, we found, their expansion has displaced smallholders.

Building on social networks, these “middle farmers” often buy inputs and services from local businesses. At least some of their produce is sold into local markets.

It’s not just about efficiency. Ultimately, it’s about who wins and who loses
