A lot of development is underway in the African agribusiness sector, and every year, we see wonders being added in the field of agritech. New companies from the continent are taking steps forward in introducing new and advanced technologies to the agricultural sector.
In a report, it has been revealed that both East and South Africa have been major contributors to the fintech and agritech startups that have elevated this burgeoning industry.
Today, we will see the top 3 contributors, we mean startups or established agri tech companies from Africa, who are revolutionizing the continent's agritech industry.
By 2030, the agritech industry in Africa is projected to reach $1 trillion 2030 or even beyond. You can watch the YouTube video to learn more. The focus lies on strengthening this industry in terms of food security and minimizing yearly losses.
