Africa Population and Economy

Here are some findings about the african continent, as related to its population and economy.

Africa has been the second fastest growing region with an average annual growth of 5.1% in the past decade. ...

It is the second largest growing region after South Asia in sectors such as technology, agriculture, construction, healthcare, and finance.

By 2035 Africa would be the world's largest labour force.
This can both be good and bad for the continent if it’s not properly managed. ...
The governments need to step up their games, people need to be more innovative, creative, and entrepreneurial minded so as to create more jobs for the rising population. Our educational systems need to change and youths need to be more engaged, if not crime rate would ...
increase which would lead to so many consequences.

Africa can unlock its agricultural potential if it increases its agricultural productivity, develop more agro-allied industries, modernize agriculture, and add value to processing for agricultural commodities.

A new economic zone has to be created where profitable agriculture activities take place, involving young people, farmers and non-farmers in the agricultural value chain in order to maximize and bring the agric sector to its full potential. Policy makers, bankers, and ...
financial institutions also have critical roles to play by providing support to agribusinesses in order to foster technology and innovation within the sector.

Dear Thrive Agric subscribers and partners:

By now, you may be aware that payouts for some farm subscriptions are delayed. This is an unfortunate outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequent restrictions on physical access to farms and farming markets.
Like many other businesses, we were not fully prepared for the impact, and despite the intent upon which this company has been run for the last 3 years, our subscribers now bear the brunt of these challenges with us.

We are issuing this statement to convey three things:
First, to once again express our deepest apologies to our subscribers whose payouts are delayed.

Second, to share our plans to resolve this issue.

And third, to reassure you that Thrive Agric remains a viable business that Nigeria needs.

This is a tale of shallow wooden bowls, messy hands, and cow legs.

So much Ado about Nkwobi, what is it about this traditional Igbo delicacy that makes it so special? Image
Since it's Sunday we decided to share with you a recipe by @Sisi_Yemmie you can follow to make your own Nkwobi and chill at home because of the current restrictions. sisiyemmie.com/2016/03/how-to…
Come to think of it, what about Nkwobi makes people leave their houses, gather in dimly lit open spaces, have a bottle of their favorite alcoholic beverages in hand, just to have a taste.

We get asked all the time, how do you guys keep an eye on the local farmer communities you support?

How do you make sense of the whole madness and ensure that the actual yield after the farming cycle matches the projected yield before giving farmers inputs?

Well, here's how. ImageImage
After we distribute inputs to farmers, they go ahead and plant.

Keeping an eye on farmers through the cycle is everything, being eagle-eyed about the activities on the farms is the difference between a productive farming season and a ‘let’s just wing it’ one. ImageImage
This is why we invest heavily in monitoring progress on the fields from the start of operations to finish.

Do you know that the details of all our farms are mapped on Google Earth Pro? Oh, you didn’t know that? You are welcome!

I have 5 hectares of land in Akure, how can you support me?

I am a poultry farmer in Ibadan, how can I work with you?”

We get a lot of questions like this about joining our community of farmers. Well, this thread is about how we select the farmers and communities we work in.
The first thing we do is spot farmer communities to work with and there are a lot of questions that inform our decision.

Questions like, is there a large enough number of farmers and available farming lands?

Can their farmland support optimal yield to meet our output targets?
Are there existing cooperatives of farmers that make managing our process easier?

Understanding the existing leadership, community structures, and aligning expectations with the communities go a long way in ensuring the success of our projects.

Nothing warms our heart more than knowing that the lives of our local farmers in our #farmer communities are being impacted positively and transformed for the better.

We’ve got thousands of stories and none of this would happen without you.

This Elizabeth Yakubu, aka Mama Bethar.

She is one of the 20,000 maize farmers we worked with on our maize project in Kaduna state and it is humbling to see how far she has come. ImageImage
Elizabeth talks about how work used to be tedious and her harvest didn’t measure up.

This meant less profits that didn’t make the next farming season worth going into optimistically. Image

Growing up, who else remembers watching the Argungu Fishing Festival for days in @NTANewsNow.

After being paused for 11 years due to insurgencies in the north, the fishing festival happened in 2020!

But how did an elaborate fishing festival come to be? THREAD! ImageImage
The Argungu festival started in 1934 in Argungu, Kebbi state.

The emir of Argungu, at the time, Muhammadu Sama, started the festival as a show of respect to entertain the Sultan of Sokoto who was on a peace visit after years of hostility between the two regions. ImageImage
The sultan was impressed by the welcome he received then he prayed for the people of the town and blessed the Matan Fada river which is the main attraction for the fishing festival.

Seeing how pleased the Sultan was, the Emir decided to make it an annual festival. Image
