Untapped Potential: Invest in Africa's Animal Husbandry Sector

Africa's dinner plates are changing. The continent's population is booming, reaching an estimated 2.5 billion by 2050. This translates to a massive surge in demand for meat and milk, with consumption projected to increase by a staggering 145% and 155% respectively by 2050 (FAO). Despite having 14% of the world's livestock resources, Africa currently falls short, producing only 2.8% of global meat and milk (FAO). This gap between potential and production creates a golden opportunity for foreign investors in animal husbandry.

Rising disposable incomes across Africa are empowering consumers to spend more on protein, further fueling the demand for efficient and productive livestock farming practices. By investing in this sector, foreign companies can be instrumental in revolutionizing Africa's food system, contributing not only to their own success but also to improved nutrition, job creation, and poverty reduction across the continent.
