East Africa is one of the most promising agricultural regions in the world due to fertile land, favorable climate, and growing food demand.
High-potential areas include:
- Commercial farming (grains, tea, coffee, horticulture)
- Agro-processing and food packaging
- Cold storage and logistics
- Agricultural technology (AgriTech)
Countries like Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Uganda are actively encouraging private investment through policy reforms and incentives.
Why agriculture matters:
Agriculture employs a large portion of the population and offers strong long-term returns as food demand continues to rise.
