Central Africa urged to prioritise agribusiness

Abstract

“Harnessing the agricultural potential of Central Africa for food Security and the Structural Transformation of the Sub-region” provides experts from the zone the opportunity to reflect on current and emerging development issues in order to make recommendations for the harmonisation and coordination of economic and social policies in Central Africa. Central Africa must capitalise on the diversification of its economies via the transformation of its agricultural products. This was the key message from Cameroon’s Minister Delegate in the Ministry of the Economy, Planning and Regional Development – Mr Yaoba Abdoulaye – as he opened the 32nd session of the Intergovernmental Committee of Experts (ICE) of Central Africa, convened in Douala, Cameroon, by the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
