"We believe in the nations of Africa, in the continent-wide spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation. And through the challenges ahead, although they are great, there is no doubt that our nations, our people, the African Union — we’re up to this task."

The Africa Continental Free Trade Area, set to become the largest Free Trade Area (FTA) in the global economy, will provide a huge opportunity for Africa by uniting 1.2 billion people into one market, with an estimated combined GDP of US$2.5 trillion, which is expected to reach US$29 trillion by 2050.

Africa has seven (7) of the fastest growing economies in the world, with the youngest workforce and a medium age of 17 years old.  Africa is rich in minerals, natural resources and has 80% of the worlds arable land for agriculture.  Forging trade relationships with Africa makes sense and they are welcoming us to the table.

​

With rising world population and an imminent danger of food shortages in the future, Africa is well poised to become the global breadbasket and emerging as a major supplier of food. Africa has about 60% of the world’s unused cropland that can be used for farming and can create up to 8 million new jobs. It is being seen as a source of future food supplies for the rising population of the world.
