More African countries have benefited from the financing of agricultural technology in the last ten years, David Saunders, Briter Bridges director and AgBase programme leader, said on the first day of the African Agri Investment Indaba in Cape Town. Since 2015, it has changed from financing the “big four” (Egypt, Kenya, Zambia and Mozambique) to also include countries such as Morocco, Ghana and Ethiopia by 2023. He believes the financing of agricultural technology may come to an end, but this can be averted by taking a holistic approach. Such an approach would strike a balance between innovation and sustainability, and bring about a real impact on farmers and agricultural ecosystems.
