ETG’s forty-year track record in the African agricultural market has beenpivotal in stimulating the continent’s economy by supporting small-scalefarmers in their endeavours and assisting them in reaching ready marketsinternationally. We aspire to nurturing and uplifting farmers at grass-rootslevel as well as improving the quality of life of all of Africa’s inhabitants. We empower small-scale farmers by instilling good farming practices toenhance crop productivity and quality, while facilitating access to agricultural equipment and provisions. ETG procures at farm-gate level, passing on the benefits of market-related prices by sorting, processing, storing and then exporting the commodities. ETG continually invests in infrastructural improvements in Africa. We create employment in the countries in which we are active and open up market opportunities in regions previously inaccessible to small-scalefarmers. Mindful of Africa’s nutritional challenges, ETG has initiated a project todecrease dependence upon starch by substituting soya crops – a valuablesource of protein, demonstrating our constant and overriding desire tofacilitate and improve quality of life. We wish to make a real difference inAfrica – in the lives of her farmers, her economies and her peoples. To thisend, ETG is dedicated and committed.
INTRODUCING ETG
BuSInESS ovErvIEW
Vertical investment into large-scale farming in recent years has allowed thegroup to support small-scale farming around the large farming entities. Twoof the Group's largest farming ventures, Mpongwe Farms in Zambia andKapunga Rice Farm in Tanzania, support in excess of 300 small-scale farmers.
The Group’s ongoing commitment to value added agricultural investment has seen it establish processing, cleaning and packaging plants in Ethiopia, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique,Tanzania, Uganda and India.
Integrating farming, trading and processing of agricultural commodities is Etg’s speciality - from Africa’s farms to the world’s supermarkets.

INTRODUCINGETG
1
With offices in 40 countries and a staff complement of over 6 500, ETG has the largest integrated agricultural supply chain in the regions within which it operates. Due to ETG's longstanding track record in Africa and other emerging markets, the Group is ideally placed to provide small growers with the best market prices for their goods, and at the same time offer them the most affordable inputs and farming advice.
Export Trading Group (ETG) focuses on the production, processing and distribution of agricultural commodities, farm inputs and farm implements. The Group also has investments in information technology, bio-energy, mining, hospitality, forestry, transport and logistics.
ETG operates in Australia, Argentina, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Sudan, Malawi, Mozambique, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Dubai, United States of America, India, Benin, Botswana, Burkina Faso, Myanmar, Burundi, China, Ghana, Guinea Bissau, Ivory Coast, Mali, Namibia, Nigeria, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Switzerland, Togo, United Kingdom, Vietnam and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In most of these countries, ETG has developed an extensive network of farm collection points for commodity procurement, warehouses, silos and processing plants.
ETG focuses on both the procurement and movement of agricultural goods as well as the supply of agricultural inputs and best farming practice support.
Most of the commodities purchased comprise ofunprocessed or semi-processed agriculturalproducts. These are cleaned, graded and packagedby ETG prior to distribution in local and internationalmarkets. Ten per cent of the Group’s agri-commodities are processed into supermarket-ready products. ETG currently procures in Maize, Wheat, Soya Beans, Rice,Sorghum, Millet, Beans, Pigeon Peas, Cow Peas, Chick Peas, Green Gram, Groundnuts, raw Cashew Nuts, Sesame Seed, Niger Seed, Coriander Seeds, Cumin Seed, Linseed, Ginger, Cloves, Sugar, Coffee, Fertiliser and Tea. Maize constitutes the largest commodity by volume.
By investing in processing plants, the Group not onlyprovides jobs for local communities, but also addsvalue to the commodities procured. This means, furthermore, that ETG stimulates foreign revenue inflows into countries where the Group is present and active.
Export Trading Company is established to market Kenyan-produced and -manufactured goods in East and Central Africa.
Export Trading Company is introduced into the East African Market as an agricultural market participant.
Export trading changes focus to service trading routes in Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan and Somalia. Expansion into Southern Africa via Malawi.

SuPPortIng And EMPoWErIng FArMErS
ETG has observed the following agricultural commonalities among these countries:
• Farming is undertaken mainly by small-scale farmers, with large commercial farms a rarity. Most farmers farm small areas of land, averaging between one to two acres. The cultivation area is limited by the use of basic tools and implements such as the hand hoe. Few farmers have the necessary finances to improve crop yields by buying certified seed and fertiliser or to access agricultural machinery.
• At harvest, the farmer reserves 75% of the crop for personal consumption, while the subsistence surplus (25%) is available for sale in the market. The cash obtained from the sale of the surplus crop provides the farmer with income to pay for essentials such as children’s education, doctor’s bills, etc.
Export Trading Group is focused on creating growth for Africa by enhancing the potential of its agricultural sector.
The agricultural sector in sub-Saharan Africa provides a livelihood for at least 75% of the population, making it an important focus area for the achievement of growth. Over the past 40 years, ETG has taken time to intimately understand how the agricultural sector functions in each of the following countries: Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia.
cHAllEngES BEIng MEt Under the traditional, low-cost low-yield way of
farming, the following elements are present:
• Farmers are often located in largely inaccessible rural areas, making it expensive for buyers to engage directly with them: Under these circumstances, should farmers find a market for their commodity, at all, the price obtained will be heavily discounted.
• Farmers often do not have the upfront cash requirements to transport commodities for sale to a central market: The surplus produced by one single farmer is insufficient to fill a truck and pay for its costs.
• Farmers do not have sufficient storage capacity to store a commodity for sale at a later date.
• Farmers have little say in the supply chain which is largely controlled by middlemen: Each level of intermediation results in less transparency, a lack of market, high transaction costs, and, ultimately, lost value for the farmer.
• Farmers are adversely affected by poor quality controls: This contributes to post-harvest losses and lower prices for their produce.
• Farmers lack access to finance for agricultural inputs: Without fertilisers, high-yielding seeds, and equipment, it’s impossible for farmers to increase income and
improve their livelihood.
1616
18 19
For over 40 years, ETG has been solving and addressingthe constraints faced by farmers, in the following way:
• Alleviating the need for a farmer to travel long distances to find a market for their commodity. ETG has achieved this by bringing the market directly to the farmer at farm-gate level. With a network of 500 warehouses spread out across Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, Mozambique and Zambia, located in both rural and main agricultural-producing areas, a ready market is provided for the small-scale farmers’ surplus agricultural production. This type of procurement enables the farmer to bypass the middlemen and achieve the maximum price for their commodity.
In 2009, ETG procured about one million metric tonnes of agricultural commodity in the region. This commodity was traded regionally and internationally.
• Providing service centres for farmers at ETG’s procurement warehouses. ETG provides farmers with education on crop cultivation and husbandry as well as appropriate post-harvest handling (cleaning, drying, sorting and grading). This enables them to better respond to the market requirements in terms of quality, quantity and standardisation.
• Providing essential inputs such as storage, fertilisers and equipment at affordable prices. ETG is implementing a scheme to provide inputs on credit
to farmers in order to enable them to farm without the burden of up-front cash requirements at the start of the planting season. Such a scheme will be supported by ETG guaranteeing a minimum off-take price for all commodity produced, including crop insurance, so that a farmer
is aware of his minimum cash flow when taking the loan.
Etg is committed to assisting small-scale farmersovercome traditional infrastructural challenges to go beyond subsistence farming and become highly active participants in the African economy.InnovAtIvE SuPPort
In addition to improving the standard of living of local farmers and their families, ETG is committed to playing a significant part in the economic development of the regions in which it operates, and contributing to the improvement of the quality of life of the communities in those regions.
20 21
Through its processing facilities, ETG offers jobs to members of local communities, imparting skills and knowledge, and establishing infrastructures on which communities can further build their own economic growth.
On a broader scale, ETG works closely with rural communities, community leaders, and local and national governments to explore and implement ways in which the benefits of international trade, and the resulting increased financial inflows, can be passed on to the people of the region.
Where ETG owns farming operations, it not only employs people from the surrounding communities, but also works closely with those communities to find ways of uplifting their people. These initiatives include everything from making grazing land available to stock farmers, improving roads, offering practical training to farmers and students from the area, and developing sporting facilities with a view to building a sense of community pride and unity.
ETG also involves itself directly with the communities of the various regions by offering financial and food support to people in need. At various times, the organisation has sought ways to improve the life of the many orphans in the regions through the donation of chocolates and biscuits.
coMMIttEd to coMMunItIES
The business also offers financial assistance during times of community need by making donations of money or supplies to communities affected by floods, droughts or other disasters. Where possible, ETG also donates money for the building or upgrading of much needed schools and clinics, thereby enhancing the quality of life of the people and ensuring that they enjoy futures that offer better opportunities for employment.
Farmers working with Etg enjoy a guaranteedmarket for their produce, access to good qualityservices, consistent and fair market prices coupled with instant payments.
going forward, Etg will continue to deepen its procurement network, providing a more extensive range of value-added services to farmers. this commitment to ensure the sustainability and profitability of farming undertakings will contribute to the growth of the African continent.

While the long term success of ETG has primarily been the result of its many years of proven expertise in the agricultural trade and export industry, the Group also boasts significant farming and warehousing assets, a trusted and reliable transport and port handling infrastructure, and extensive processing and beneficiation facilities.
trade and Export
More than 80% of commodities procured by ETG are bought directly from farmers, who are paid cash-on-delivery at local field warehouses. These are located within reach of the farmers in each country from which ETG sources commodities. The remaining portion of ETG’s agricultural commodities is sourced from other smaller traders and commercial or semi-commercial farms. Once procured, the commodities are transported to the small buying centres, where they are graded,
processed and standardised before being transferred to the larger ETG warehouses. From here, approximately 90% of the produce is repackaged and distributed locally or exported internationally, while the remaining 10% is processed further at ETG’s various processing plants.
ETG also trades in fertilisers and pesticides. About half of the fertiliser traded by the Group is imported to satisfy tender programme. Fertilisers imported by ETG for its own account are distributed for resale to farmers in the various ETG operational areas.
ETG’s physical trading unit has its headquarters in Dar es Salaam.
The Group has a derivative hedging and corporate finance unit in
Johannesburg, South Africa, which hedges group commodity exposures
on the South African Futures Exchange as well as the Chicago Board of
Trade, Kansas Board of Trade and the London Futures Exchange. Risk
management, the reporting of group exposure to commodities, foreign
exchange, freight, country and interest rate risk, are undertaken from the
Group’s Johannesburg office.

ProcESSIng And BEnEFIcIAtIon
ETG’s key focus on supply chain management has seen the Group develop extensive procurement, storage and logistics networks in each country within which it operates. This is a key strategic and competitive differentiator for ETG.
In 2002, the Group substantially increased investment in agricultural processing. Currently, ETG has 21 processing centres in Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, India and Mozambique. The agro-processing plants add value to commodities sourced in each country, creating jobs for the local communities and earning valuable foreign currency for the countries in which the Group operates.
FArMIng And ASSEt AcquISItIon
26 27
In 2006, the Group embarked on a strategic initiative to backward integrate through the acquisition of large-scale commercial farms and farmland. To date, it has acquired farming assets in Zambia, Mozambique, Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. The acquisition of these farming assets has allowed the Group to support small-scale farming around these estates.

Apart from the exsisting farms, ETG has 136 140 ha of greenfields in Tanzania, 156 000 ha in Mozambique and 13 000 ha in the DRC.
logIStIcS
The ETG logistics operations unit is based in Dar es Salaam. An outstanding logistics network, incorporating a fleet of trucks, ensures that the Group has the necessary capacity to transport commodities procured or imported across Africa. By managing its own logistics, the Group can ensure that savings in logistical costs are transferred to the farmer. Importation costs of much needed farming inputs are also substantially reduced. Whilst ETG has its own fleet of commercial trucks, more than 90% of the commodities are transported by commercial transporters contracted to the Group in 2007. To reduce congestion in the port of Dar es Salaam the Group entered into a joint venture with the Sharaf Group from the UAE, as well as the National Development Corporation of Tanzania, to develop two inland container depots to handle containerised cargo.

ETG currently has a storage capacity of 1.69 million tonnes covering ten countries. The Group is differentiated from other companies by its ability to procure commodities at farm-gate level and store produce for extensive periods of time thereby providing markets to local communities throughout the year.
While the majority of the Group’s warehousing capacity is in Mozambique, Tanzania and Malawi, ETG’s philosophy of ensuring it has the
necessary infrastructure in place to support its business operations means that the Group has warehouse capacity in every country within
which it operates. Warehouses in Senegal, Burundi, South Africa, Ghana, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger and Rwanda with an estimated capacity of
21 000 megatons, are planned.

processing plants that serve to complete the pulses supply and value chain. Procurement takes place at farm gate level, after which the raw
commodity is processed, packaged and branded. The final product is exported primarily to Europe and Asia. Various pulses are processed,
traded, and exported, including Pigeon Peas, yellow and Green Gram, mung dal and sugar beans. The Group exports over 150 000 tonnes
of pulses from Malawi, Mozambique, Kenya and Tanzania.
Pigeon Peas | ETG procures Pigeon Peas, at farm-gate level, from farmers in Mozambique, Malawi, Tanzania and Kenya. After
procurement, the raw commodity is cleaned and prepared for export to consumers in Europe and Asia. Along with the export of raw Pigeon
Peas, the Group has pigeon pea processing plants in Malawi, Mozambique and Tanzania, where the raw commodity is processed, packed
and branded. This final product is then shipped to various international destinations. ETG exports over one hundred thousand metric tons of
Pigeon Peas per annum.
Beans | Beans represent a major source of dietary protein and micronutrients for rural poor people. ETG procures a variety of beans,
including sugar beans, white pea beans, khaki beans, butter beans, and others, throughout the region from Ethiopia to South Africa. The
raw beans are cleaned and bagged at ETG’s various processing facilities before being stored to meet local and regional demand or exported
internationally. The Group trades approximately thirty thousand metric tons of beans every year.
ETG has a strong procurement unit that, in conjunction with its vast storage infrastructure across East, West and Southern Africa, makes the Group one of the largest physical agricultural procurers in Africa. Commodities procured include:
cereals
Consumption habits within the Eastern, Central and Southern African region make cereals a significant staple food, with Rice one of the
most popular food sources around the coastal regions and maize inland. ETG has developed its business around these consumption habits,
effectively meeting the consumption requirements of the various communities.
Maize | As the most consumed cereal in the sub-Saharan region, maize suffers from a high demand to supply ratio, primarily as a result of
inconsistent weather patterns, poor farming techniques and political instability. White maize is the preferred choice of much of the population
in this region, while yellow maize is predominantly used as animal feed.
ETG procures white maize directly from the rural farmer (or smallholder), via its collection centres located throughout the region. The product
is cleaned, graded and packaged before being supplied to communities via ETG’s established logistics network. The business model is
designed to ensure that the supply chain addresses the needs of areas where a shortage of maize exists via a constant supply from areas
with surplus production. ETG procures over half a million metric tonnes of white maize from the countries within which it operates, in the
proportions indicated below.
Wheat | The shortage of Wheat in the region makes it necessary to import the commodity from destinations like North and South America,
the Black Sea and Australia. The Group’s approach combines such an import programme with domestic procurement from local farmers as
well as production on ETG-owned farms in Zambia.
rice | Since Rice is not readily produced on the African continent, most of the supply to the regions is via imports from Asia. ETG
endeavours to meet the varying needs and budgets of its consumers by supplying different qualities of Rice as required. The Group imports
almost 150 000 tonnes of Rice for distribution to its Eastern, Southern and Central African markets. Rice is also grown on the Group’s 8 000
hectare farm in Tanzania.

oilseeds
ETG’s oilseed portfolio comprises Sesame Seeds and Soya Beans. Sesame Seeds are processed primarily in Mozambique and Tanzania
before being exported to Asia. Raw Sesame Seeds are also exported to crushers in Asia for the production of cooking oil. ETG procures
over 30 000 tonnes of Sesame Seeds annually.
As part of its social responsibility commitment, ETG provides high quality, cost effective protein sources to many African communities
through the production of a protein rich corn-soy blend and soy pieces. These products are sold at very reasonable prices and have helped
reduce malnutrition amongst poverty stricken parts of the African population. The corn-soy blend, which is a world food program approved
commodity, is produced from a blend of Maize, Soya Bean and Sugar. The tasty soy product (TSP) is made from Soya Bean extrusion. Both of
these commodities are sold to the domestic markets of the countries in which they are processed. ETG also grows Soya Beans on its farm in
Zambia.
Edible nuts and Spices
Edible nuts and spices are high-value commodities exported to Europe, Asia and North America. ETG’s edible nut portfolio comprises
Cashews and groundnuts. Both commodities are procured at a farm-gate level. Groundnuts are sold raw to end users in Asia, while Cashew
Nuts are processed in the Group’s Cashew factories, pre-packed, branded and exported to markets in Europe, Asia and North America.
The Group has four Cashew factories in Tanzania and Mozambique. In some cases the Cashew kernel is also exported raw to other
processors. ETG procures close to 30 000 tonnes of nuts annually.
ETG also procures approximately 5 000 tonnes per year of high value spices like ginger, cloves and Coriander Seed for export to Asia.
Sugar
ETG is involved in procurement operations in the COMESA (Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa) region, where the Group’s
key strength is its ability to distribute the locally procured product, while also supplying Sugar from South Africa, Brazil and Asia to areas of
shortage within the sub-Saharan region. Around 20 000 tonnes of Sugar is traded by ETG annually.
coffee and tea
ETG recently entered the coffee market with the acquisition of a processing facility in Uganda and estimates that it will trade about
15 000 tonnes of coffee in its first year of operation. The commodity is procured directly from farmers before being processed, sorted and
packaged. The product is currently marketed in North Africa, with plans to expand into Europe and East Africa.
Tea is also a relatively new addition to the Group’s portfolio, resulting from the acquisition of a 7 000 hectare estate in Mozambique.
Currently, the farm produces 2 000 tonnes of tea annually, however, it is envisaged that this amount will be increased through targeted
investments and improvements to the estate.
Fertilisers
Thanks to a number of forward thinking agricultural policies, farming techniques in many African countries are steadily improving. One such
policy is the promotion of increased usage of fertilisers amongst rural farmers as a means of enhancing crop yields. ETG’s philosophy of
providing a complete supply chain from producer to end user saw the Group initiate a fertiliser supply programme in the regions in which it
operates. Fertiliser is sourced directly from manufacturers in Egypt, China and Europe before being supplied at a reasonable cost to farming
operations. This has resulted in more durable supply programs, one of which involves the provision of fertiliser to farmers along with a
guarantee to purchase the final commodity produced. This effectively mitigates the price risks that would otherwise have faced these
farmers, while ensuring a steady supply of good quality produce.

grouP PHIloSoPHY
ETG endeavours to invest in businesses that uplift its core activities, while creating economies of scale to support its small grower base over the long term.
The Group is committed to ameliorating all its activities, in each country, by means of ongoing investment in its staff, infrastructure and processing. This also contributes to the sustainability of the farming activities in those regions and to the strength of the entire supply chain.
Through the Group's head office network in each country within which it operates, the Group has
the ability to gauge the needs of the small growers it supports. Warehouse and processing facility managers are in constant contact with small growers, gaining an on the ground understanding of the demands and challenges faced by them.
The Group believes in investing in human capital to grow its business. Special attention is therefore paid to recruiting the most appropriate and qualified staff, and offering comprehensive, ongoing training at every employee level from top level management to factory and field workers.

FUTUREFOCUS
As the Etg business model continues to provide highly attractive returns to investors and business partners, the organisation has a philosophy of building on its achievements and prudently expanding its operations for the benefit of all stakeholders.

Providing Bigger Markets for Existing Small growers
The Group’s immediate priority is to achieve the full potential of its
existing core businesses and grow volumes in these products to
realise the full benefits of increased scale. In addition, by
streamlining our logistical capacity we believe we will be able to
offer small growers better prices for their produce and thereby
stimulate production.
new Products and regions
While the Group recognises the need to penetrate new products
and regions as a sustainable growth strategy, the choice of
products and markets will be determined strictly in keeping with its
identified core competency of adding value throughout the supply
chain. The Group has already identified potential investments in
products and regions that will significantly contribute to its expan-
sion strategy and these will be investigated further, and pursued
in the coming months and years.
Adding value via vertical Integration
With a philosophy of enhancing value and always servicing the
customer with top quality products, ETG will continue to add to
its processing network. Investment in processing not only creates
much needed jobs, but also increases foreign revenue inflows for
the local governments in the respective countries in which the
Group operates.
ongoing Strengthening of leadership and Management
The success of ETG, to date, can largely be attributed to the
strength and vision of the Company’s leadership and the quality
of its management at every level. To ensure the continued and
sustainable growth of the Company, particular focus will be paid to
deepening the management talent pool by training, mentoring and
coaching employees who demonstrate management potential, while
continuing to attract the most talented individuals to fill positions of
management and leadership across the Group.
ETG’s development model is driven by the organisation’s commitment to providing a comprehensive, end-to-end supply chain solution between the farm-gate in producer countries and the supermarket shelves of countries to which we export commodities.
Since inception, business growth has been the result of the Group’s commitment to the communities and small scale farmers for whom it provides markets.
Going forward, however, ETG has recognised that continued, sustainable growth will result from a focus on the following four key strategic imperatives:
ETG is confident that this growth strategy, combined with the organisation’s established small grower support base, will offer significant opportunities for sustainable growth and see an overall uplifting of the agricultural markets within which the Group operates.
In addition, the Group’s commitment to investing in infrastructure such as warehousing, silos, logistics and transportation, port and barge facilities, plus container terminals, ensures that ETG has the resources and capacity to continue delivering its exceptional range of value-adding services, while steadily expanding operations and enhancing long term sustainable markets for the small growers that have helped build the Company to where it is today.

Ensuring the world’s growing population has enough to eat is the
challenge facing politicians in both the developing and developed
worlds, and the need to address that problem will ensure that
commodities will be one of the most important asset classes of the
next decade.
More than a cycle
The large share of agriculture in Africa’s GDP suggests that
agriculture is key for overall economic growth – growing agriculture
will consequently grow economies across the whole continent.
Small farmers in Africa will be playing a pivotal role in feeding the
world over the next decade or two.
The cost of producing food in First World countries is extremely
high and land is scarce. On the other hand, sub–Saharan Africa
has enormous natural, physical and human potential, using less
than 25% of the arable land and less than 14% of the irrigation
potential. Agricultural commodity prices have fallen following the
global economic downturn, and memories of food riots in 2007/08
in a range of countries from Mexico to Morocco, are fading. But
underlying secular changes to global supply and demand have
made the future course of world food prices highly uncertain. It is
likely that prices will not resume the long term downward trend in
real terms that prevailed from 1975 to 2005.
Globally, the demand for food is rising 3.3% per annum, whilst the
supply of land increases by 1% per annum. With agricultural land
in developed countries shrinking, as urbanisation expands, food
production will be seen to be the critical resource which Africa can
supply to the world. However, the ability of Africa to supply the
world’s food requirements can only occur if interventions are made
at numerous levels – from the provision of finance, to infrastructure
development, to effective market linkages. For example, Africa’s use
of fertiliser is only 2% of the world average and, as a result, cereal
yields in sub-Saharan Africa are only 1.3t/ha compared to 3.5t/ha
in Europe and 5.5t/ha in North America. Raising yields requires a
combination of education through extension services, access to
appropriate and timely inputs as well as access to finance to
purchase inputs.
demand outstripping supply
Population growth is the key determinant of demand for food
grains. In August 2009, the Department for the Environment, Food
and Rural Affairs (Defra), launched a review of the UK’s food
security in which it stated that the world population is expected to
reach 9 billion by 2050, requiring a 70% rise in food production to
prevent widespread hunger. Consumption patterns, too, are
changing. As real incomes rise, particularly from very low levels of
per capita income, so does daily calorie intake. Moreover, the
proportion consumed as protein, particularly meat, increases. This
has a leveraged effect, because meat production requires
proportionally more grains. For example, seven kilogrammes of
feedstock grains are needed to produce one kilogramme of beef.
As global demand for agricultural produce increases, the small grower in the emerging market is in the ideal situation to benefit from this sustainable demand. ETG is well-positioned to assist the small farmer in getting his produce to the world in the most cost effective manner.
The long term trends in agricultural commodities will provide some of the most exciting production and processing opportunities across all asset classes in the next decade. The increase in demand for agricultural produce, both from local markets and other emerging markets such as India and China, will allow the Group to increase prices offered to small growers in Africa, on an ongoing basis.
the focus of the donor community has shifted from food aid and now emphasises developing small-scale farmers and establishing food security. the stage is being set for food production in Africa to gain momentum. Africa’s farmers are unique in that they generally have access to land that is free (communally held) or can be used at a relatively low cost. this free/low-cost land provides farmers with a significantly reduced cost structure.
concluSIon
Annual growth in global cereal yields falls far short of the pace required to match the expected increase in demand from the combination of population growth, dietary change and increased biofuels usage.
46 47
These demand trends need not lead to higher agricultural prices if
supply can keep pace. Growth in supply is the result of a
combination of acreage expansion and increases in yields.
According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the
United Nations, growth in yields is slowing. Over the past 45 years,
average annual growth in global cereal yields has been 2% per year,
but over the past 20 years it has slowed to 1.3%. This falls far short
of the pace required to match the expected increase in demand
from the combination of population growth, dietary change and
increased biofuels usage.
This puts the onus of increasing supply on acreage expansion. But
according to the FAO, over the last five decades, global cultivated
acreage has expanded by just less than 15%, primarily through
growth in South America and Africa. There is scope for additional
significant acreage expansion in South America, Indonesia and the
former Soviet Union. But much of this land is remote and will require
considerable investment in infrastructure that can take years, or
even decades, to build. Climate change, too, could play its part in
the supply of suitable land for cultivation. Projected increases in
temperatures through the impact of global warming are expected
to have a dramatic impact on agricultural production in areas
vulnerable to a reduction in water. The overall picture, therefore, is
one of considerable uncertainty.
While this combination of factors has led some analysts to question whether the sector finds itself in a “bubble” scenario, the fundamental factors that drive agricultural commodities and the improbability of finding technological substitutes for the end products mean that demand is likely to remain constant, and price fluctuations will be in reaction to inflationary factors.
The challenge with regard to Africa’s small-scale farmers is more than facilitating the ability to sell crops – it is about providing access to a complete solution that ensures long term sustainability and food security, while fostering higher standards of living across the continent.
