ALL AGRI #ValueAddition

Afreximbank officials noted that industrialization is critical to achieving the goals of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA), as value-added products are more competitive in regional and global markets. They highlighted sectors such as agriculture, mining, and energy as key opportunities for processing and manufacturing within Africa.
