Africa has huge agricultural growth potential, as it includes more than 60% of the world’s unused arable land. But Africa records the lowest share in global agricultural production and is a net food importer. Food import in Africa is valued at $35 billion and is projected to reach $110 billion by 2025. More than 232 million Africans are undernourished, and climate change is a real threat to the agriculture sector.
A country like the Netherlands, despite its small arable land area, is one of the biggest agriculture exporters in the world; in 2019, exports of Dutch agricultural products generated more than EUR 94 billion. The outstanding Dutch agricultural performance comes with a strong commitment to produce good quality food by promoting innovative and advanced green technologies.
