2024 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor

New report analyzes trade performance amid pressure points from climate change, water use, and carbon emissions, with recommendations for sustainable practices.

The report examines the recent performance of African agricultural trade with a focus on the complex relationships between trade, climate change, and food security.

This year’s AATM calls for greater resilience via enhanced agricultural trade integration.

It calls for governments to accelerate regional integration and increase investment in infrastructure. 

Key value chains should be strengthened in terms of processing capabilities and technologies, as well as improved capacities and logistics, facilitating producers’ adherence to international standards. The prospect of increasing water scarcity can be alleviated by facilitating trade of embedded water in agrifood products between regions with differential water availability.
