Speech delivered by Dr. Akinwumi A. Adesina, President of the African Development Bank (AfDB) at the AEZO 6th Annual Meeting in Accra – Ghana on November 25th.
According to the president of African Development Bank, the agricultural sector in Africa was badly hit by the coronavirus pandemic but is optimistic a number of strides will be made this year.
He said, “Farmers don’t go to their farms, a lot of logistics were broken but now I think Africa is getting back on track. Last year we went down -1% to GDP. It is projected to go up by 3.4% this year. Hopefully we should be ready to run for more agribusinesses.”
