Africa’s Agri-Food Supply Chains: Where Value Is Lost and How to Fix It
AISCR Webinar | Thursday 19 November 2026 | | Live on Zoom | 90 minutes
About the Webinar
Africa has the land, the labour and the growing demand to feed its own people and supply the world. Yet too much of what is grown never turns into income. Value leaks out at every stage, from the farm gate to the consumer’s plate: in storage, transport, handling, processing, market access, financing and coordination between actors.
This webinar brings together experts to pinpoint where value is lost across Africa’s agri-food supply chains and to discuss practical, evidence-based solutions that farmers, businesses, logistics providers and policymakers can act on.
Key Themes
- Post-harvest losses: where and why produce is lost between farm and market
- Storage, cold chain and logistics: the infrastructure and transport gaps that erode value
- Market access and trade: connecting producers to buyers, regionally and globally
- Processing and value addition: keeping more of the value on the continent
- Procurement, finance and policy: the enabling environment that makes supply chains work
- Technology and innovation: tools that improve visibility, traceability and efficiency
