In The Spotlight

Across the drylands of Africa, millions of smallholder farmers grow food in some of the most punishing conditions on earth.
Erratic rainfall, punishing heat and increasingly unpredictable growing seasons make every harvest a gamble. Now, two of the world's leading agricultural research institutions are joining forces to change that.
The International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and The University of Queensland (UQ) in Australia have formalised a strategic partnership aimed at bringing the latest predictive breeding technologies directly into crop improvement programmes serving dryland farming communities. A Memorandum of Understanding signed between ICRISAT and UQ's ARC Training Centre in Predictive Breeding for Agricultural Futures sets the foundation for what could be a transformative shift in how new crop varieties are developed for the world's most food-insecure regions.
At its core, the collaboration is about speed and precision. Traditional crop breeding is a long game, often taking well over a decade to move from a promising genetic combination to a variety that farmers can actually grow. Predictive breeding collapses that timeline by using genomic data to identify which plants are most likely to thrive before they are ever put in the ground. For communities already feeling the weight of climate change, that difference can be measured in meals.
Himanshu Pathak, Director General of ICRISAT, said,"Dryland agriculture is on the frontline of climate change. Farmers in these regions cannot wait decades for improved crop varieties. Predictive breeding allows us to anticipate which genetic combinations will perform best before they are even field-tested. Through collaboration with one of the world's leading centres for predictive breeding at the University of Queensland, we are accelerating the delivery of climate-resilient crops that farmers urgently need to sustain productivity, nutrition, and livelihoods."
ICRISAT already has strong foundations to build on. The institute has contributed to the release of over 1,200 improved crop varieties across more than 40 countries, and has been rolling out rapid breeding cycle protocols for crops including chickpea, pigeonpea and finger millet. The new partnership is expected to further sharpen those efforts, with genomic prediction woven into existing pipelines to deliver varieties capable of achieving yield gains of 20 to 25 per cent under drought and heat stress.
"This partnership is a fantastic opportunity to put cutting-edge predictive breeding tools into the hands of ICRISAT's breeders. Beyond the technology itself, building local capacity to implement and adapt these approaches is critical and will help ensure long-term impact for farmers across India and Africa," said Professor Lee Hickey, Director of the ARC Training Centre.
The collaboration will be coordinated by Dr Janila Pasupuleti, who will lead the development of a transition strategy to embed rapid-cycle genomic prediction across ICRISAT's breeding programmes. For farming communities across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, it represents something simple but profound: better seeds, sooner.
EuroTier 2026 Puts Forage Production in the Spotlight With New Forage Days and Smart-Farming Showcase. (Image credit: DLG)
Forage production takes center stage at EuroTier 2026, scheduled for November 10-13, 2026, in Hanover, Germany.
Organized under the guiding theme "Intelligence in Animal Farming," the event will feature a dedicated DLG Spotlight on Forage Production alongside the newly launched Forage Days on November 12 and 13 marking a significant expansion in programming for ruminant nutrition professionals, forage specialists and equipment manufacturers worldwide.
Forage quality directly determines the profitability and productivity of ruminant herds. Despite this, measurable losses continue to occur at every stage of the forage chain from field to feedbunk. Bridging that gap is the central mission of EuroTier 2026's forage programming.
High-performing dairy and beef operations depend on a steady supply of consistent, nutrient-dense forage. Research consistently demonstrates that premium forage quality reduces reliance on purchased concentrate feeds, lowers input costs and improves overall feed efficiency outcomes that directly affect a farm's bottom line.
Achieving stable forage quality calls for well-coordinated machinery and tight process management at each production stage: harvesting, preservation, storage and daily feeding. Fast, low-loss operations -- such as completing ensiling within 24 hours and ensuring rapid drying during haymaking are critical benchmarks that leading producers are working toward.
Modern sensors, compaction monitoring and airtight covering systems are enabling a new generation of precision forage management. Properly adjusted equipment minimizes contamination risk and fermentation inconsistencies, while low-emission manure application and verified silage additives support both forage hygiene and storage stability.
At the feedout stage, clean face management, appropriate daily advance rates and fresh-feed protocols prevent reheating and aerobic spoilage factors that can quietly erode the nutritional value of even well-made silages.
The curated DLG Spotlight on Forage Production will bring together exhibitors from across the equipment, technology and agronomy sectors to demonstrate how digital and smart-farming tools can optimize forage quality at every stage of the production chain from initial cutting through to ensiling. The dedicated DLG Expert Stage Ruminants will complement this showcase with targeted content on needs-based feeding strategies for dairy and beef operations.
The new Forage Days on November 12 and 13 extend the programming to offer deeper technical engagement, providing attendees access to expert-led discussions, live equipment demonstrations and direct networking with forage specialists from across the industry.
Where Africa's Agricultural Future Takes Shape: Agritec Africa 2026 Opens Tomorrow in Johannesburg. (Image credit: Agritech Africa)
Tomorrow, Johannesburg becomes the heartbeat of African agriculture. The 11th edition of Agritec Africa opens its doors at the Gallagher Convention Centre on 11 March 2026, running through to 13 March, and the scale of what is coming together is hard to ignore.
More than 200 companies from over 30 countries are setting up at the venue, bringing with them the kind of machinery, technology, and ideas that African farming urgently needs. From precision irrigation systems and high-yield seed varieties to greenhouse technologies, livestock solutions, and agro-processing equipment, the exhibition floor is a live picture of where global agriculture is heading and how Africa fits into that story.
The doors open each day at 10:00 AM, with the first two days running until 6:00 PM and the final day closing at 5:00 PM. Entry is free for all visitors, though online registration is compulsory before attending.
This is not simply a trade show. Agritec Africa draws a genuinely mixed crowd of progressive farmers, dairy and poultry producers, distributors, agribusiness professionals, policymakers, and agricultural scientists. Country pavilions representing the likes of China, India, Germany, and Turkey add an international dimension to proceedings, while dedicated conference sessions and seminars give attendees direct access to expert thinking on sustainability, technology adoption, and the future of food production.
Live machinery demonstrations bring the exhibition to life in a way that brochures never can, and structured business matchmaking sessions create real opportunities for companies and farmers to find partners, open new markets, and build lasting commercial relationships.
The backdrop to all of this matters. Agriculture employs roughly 65 per cent of Africa's workforce and contributes around 32 per cent to the continent's GDP. The sector carries enormous weight, and the pressure to modernise has never been greater.
Agritec Africa 2026 arrives at exactly the right moment, offering a platform where knowledge, investment, and ambition converge to shape what African agriculture looks like next.

Across sub-Saharan Africa, women are not waiting on the sidelines of the farming revolution. They are in the thick of it, tilling the soil, leading cooperatives, and building agribusinesses that feed families and fortify economies.
Women make up nearly half of the continent's agrifood workforce, with more than three quarters of employed women working within these systems in some capacity. Yet despite doing so much of the heavy lifting, structural obstacles continue to block their path to finance, land, markets, and the tools they need to truly thrive.
To mark International Women's Day 2026, AGRA brought this conversation front and centre. Through its VALUE4HER initiative, the organisation convened women agripreneurs, policymakers, and development partners at the Joaquim Chissano International Centre in Maputo, Mozambique. The event served a dual purpose: honouring the women quietly transforming African agriculture, and officially opening applications for the 2026 VALUE4HER Women Agripreneurs of the Year Awards, known as WAYA.
The gathering was anchored by the theme "Give Agency to Gain Growth," a rallying call that spoke directly to what many women working in agrifood know all too well. The numbers make a compelling case for change. According to the Food and Agriculture Organisation, if women farmers had the same access to productive resources as men, their yields could increase by 20 to 30 per cent, potentially cutting global hunger by up to 17 per cent.
Alice Ruhweza,AGRA's President, said, "Women are not just participants in Africa's agrifood systems — they are innovators, entrepreneurs, and leaders driving transformation across the value chain. Investing in women's agency, leadership, and access to opportunities unlocks growth not only for women-led businesses, but for Africa's food systems and economies."
Maria Benvinda Levy, Mozambique's Prime Minister, said, "The National Program for the Eradication of Poverty places the improvement of people's living conditions at the centre of our national agenda. It prioritises support for the most vulnerable, reduces social inequalities, and advances inclusive development across Mozambique. Women agripreneurs are central to this transformation, driving productivity, strengthening food systems, and expanding opportunity in our communities."
The WAYA Awards, launched in 2021, have grown into one of Africa's most respected platforms for recognising excellence in women-led agribusiness. Winners receive grants of up to USD 300,000 to scale their work. This year's awards will be presented in September at the Africa Food Systems Forum in Kigali, Rwanda. Applications close 8th May 2026, and are open to women-led agribusinesses across the continent.
Last year drew nearly 2,000 applicants from countries including Kenya, Nigeria, Ghana, Uganda, Tanzania, and beyond. Their stories told of innovation in ag-tech, value addition, sustainable farming, and grassroots community leadership. This year promises to be no different.
African Development Bank's US$16.6mn bet on smarter farming.
Across Africa, millions of farmers are battling unpredictable weather, shrinking harvests, and ageing farming methods that simply cannot keep pace with the continent's growing food demands.
A new funding agreement is looking to change that, and quickly.
The African Development Bank Group and the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) have signed a US$16.61mn grant agreement to kick off the third phase of the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation Programme, better known as TAAT-III. The signing took place on 18th February 2026 in Abuja, and it marks a fresh chapter in one of Africa's most consequential agricultural programmes.
Since TAAT first launched in 2018, the results have been hard to argue with. The programme has reached close to 25 million farmers, expanded climate-resilient practices across more than 35 million hectares, pushed crop yields up by as much as 69 per cent, and generated over US$4bn in additional agricultural value. Countries such as Sudan, Ethiopia, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Nigeria have all recorded measurable improvements in staple crop output.
Nigeria's experience under the Wheat Compact tells the story well. Farmers who adopted improved heat-tolerant seed varieties watched their yields more than double, rising from 1.7 tonnes per hectare to 3.5 tonnes per hectare.
Abdul Kamara, Director General of the Bank Group's Nigeria Country Department, said, "TAAT-III underscores the Bank's commitment to ensuring that proven, climate-resilient agricultural technologies reach farmers faster and at scale. This phase strengthens the systems that deliver innovation, helping countries boost productivity, enhance resilience, and align agricultural transformation efforts with the Bank's four new areas of emphasis, dubbed the Four Cardinal Points."
IITA's Director General, Simeon Ehui, added, "TAAT-III allows us to deepen the delivery of science-based solutions that improve farmers' yields and livelihoods. Working with the Bank and our partners, we are scaling technologies that make Africa's food systems more resilient and competitive."
Funded through the African Development Fund, TAAT-III aims to reach an additional 14 million farmers across 37 low-income countries, embedding sustainable, private sector-driven models into long-term national farming strategies.
Africa's trade revolution:AfCFTA and AGRA join forces to put farmers first.
Africa's ambition to feed itself and trade its way to prosperity took a meaningful step forward on 14th February, when two of the continent's most influential institutions made their collaboration official.
On the sidelines of the 39th African Union Summit, the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Secretariat and AGRA signed a Memorandum of Understanding, setting the stage for a deeper, more purposeful working relationship. The agreement signals a deliberate shift from paperwork to practice, placing agriculture at the heart of Africa's continental trade ambitions.
With 50 countries now having ratified the AfCFTA Agreement, the conversation is no longer about whether Africa will trade more freely. It is about how. And for millions of smallholder farmers, agribusinesses, and food processors across the continent, the answer to that question matters enormously.
H.E. Wamkele Mene, Secretary-General of the AfCFTA Secretariat, said, "The AfCFTA offers Africa a historic opportunity to shift from exporting raw commodities to building regional value chains that create jobs, raise farmer incomes and strengthen food security.Our partnership with AGRA is about moving from ambition to execution, ensuring that agricultural trade delivers tangible benefits for producers, processors and consumers across the continent."
The partnership will be guided by the AfCFTA Agri-Trade Action Plan, a practical framework targeting the reduction of non-tariff barriers, stronger trade facilitation, investment in regional value chains, and greater emphasis on value addition within African borders.
For AGRA President Alice Ruhweza, the real test lies in making trade work for the people who grow Africa's food. "Trade will not transform Africa's food systems unless farmers and agri-enterprises are able to produce competitively, meet international quality standards, and connect to reliable markets," she said. "This partnership is about making intra-African food trade work in practice — linking policy to delivery so that agriculture becomes a driver of inclusive growth, resilience and shared prosperity."
Together, both institutions are betting that a well-functioning continental market is not just good economics — it is the foundation of a more food-secure, self-sufficient Africa.
Turning the tide on post harvest loss in Tanzania.
Not every major change begins with loud announcements or grand declarations. Some arrive quietly and slowly reshape the landscape.
In Tanzania’s agricultural sector, one of the most pressing yet often overlooked challenges is post harvest loss. While developed countries tend to lose around 40 per cent of food at the retail and consumer stages, Tanzania faces a very different reality. Nearly 40 per cent of food is lost during post harvest handling and processing.
For horticultural produce such as fruits and vegetables, the situation is even more serious, with losses climbing to nearly 70 per cent. Poor storage facilities, weak transport systems, pests, rodents, diseases and mould all play a part. Policy gaps, infrastructure challenges and limited coordination also contribute to the problem.
The impact reaches far beyond the farm. Food security is weakened and farmers lose potential income. Tanzania has avoided famine in recent years, yet the country has developed a large market for its grains and pulses across neighbouring nations and overseas. Demand from these markets remains strong and far from fully satisfied. Food lost after harvest could have helped bridge this gap, increase export earnings and improve farmers’ livelihoods.
With the population now at about 66 million and growing rapidly, pressure on food systems continues to rise while farmland steadily declines. Recognising these challenges, the government introduced the National Post Harvest Management Strategy under the Agricultural Sector Development Programme Phase II. The goal is to reduce post harvest losses by half.
Technology is playing an important role in this effort. The Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT, working through the Pan Africa Bean Research Alliance programme, partnered with the Tanzania Agricultural Research Institute to launch the project titled “Scaling Multi-Crop Threshing Machines for Women and Youth Empowerment in Tanzania”.
Through this initiative, farmers were introduced to MultiCrop Thresher machines capable of threshing and cleaning crops including maize, beans, sorghum, pigeon peas, sunflower, soybeans, finger millet, cowpeas, lablab and green grams. Beyond cutting losses, the machines reduce labour demands, improve grain quality and open business opportunities for young people and women.
Most of the beneficiaries were women and youth who received the machines at a 50 per cent subsidy after training by Imara Tech Ltd. Founded in 2016 by Alfred Chengula, the company has grown into a promising agri tech enterprise producing equipment for smallholder farmers across several African countries. Its journey shows how local innovation can strengthen food systems, create jobs and support a more secure agricultural future for Tanzania.

HortiFlora Expo 2026 will take place from 24 to 26 March 2026 at the Addis International Convention Center in Addis Ababa, bringing global attention to Ethiopia’s growing influence in the horticulture and floriculture industries.
The event aims to highlight the country’s role as a vibrant centre for horticulture in Africa, while welcoming growers, exporters, buyers and agribusiness professionals from across the world.
The expo is organised by HPP Exhibitions in partnership with the Ethiopian Horticulture Producers Exporters Association (EHPEA). This year’s edition reflects a broader vision for the sector, presenting not only flowers but also fruits, vegetables, seeds and a range of modern agricultural technologies. By widening its focus, the event seeks to mirror the expanding capabilities of Ethiopia’s agricultural landscape and the increasing diversity of its export products.
HortiFlora has long attracted strong international participation, and the 2026 edition is expected to continue that tradition. Industry representatives from Europe, the Middle East, Asia and across Africa will gather in Addis Ababa to explore trade opportunities and strengthen partnerships. The expo will provide an active meeting point for businesses through organised buyer and seller discussions, networking events and market exploration activities. A strong emphasis will be placed on product quality, traceability and dependable supply chains, factors that are becoming essential for global buyers.
Another important development is the event’s expanded scope and renewed annual rhythm. While floriculture remains a core strength of Ethiopia’s export sector, the inclusion of fruits and vegetables reflects the country’s increasing production and market reach in fresh produce. This shift signals a new phase for the expo as it supports economic growth and employment within the agricultural sector.
Ethiopia’s favourable climate and continuing investment in infrastructure have played a key role in the rapid progress of its horticulture industry. As the nation broadens its export portfolio, HortiFlora Expo 2026 stands as an important platform for international cooperation, knowledge exchange and the future development of sustainable horticulture.

Vaccine arrival strengthens South Africa’s fight against foot and mouth disease.
South Africa has stepped up its response to Foot and mouth disease with the arrival of one million high potency vaccines at OR Tambo International Airport.
The shipment was received under the supervision of John Steenhuisen, Agriculture Minister marking a significant boost to the national vaccination drive already under way in affected regions.
The vaccines were supplied by Biogénesis Bagó in Argentina and form part of a broader supply programme. Further consignments are expected in the coming weeks from BVI in Botswana and Dollvet in Turkey. By the end of March, more than five million doses from these three international suppliers are set to arrive in the country.
At home, the Agricultural Research Council has committed to producing 20 000 vaccines per week, with plans to increase output to 200 000 per week in 2027. The expanded supply will allow authorities to move beyond targeted outbreak response and work towards wider suppression of the virus in high risk areas.
Steenhuisen said, “Vaccination has already begun in affected areas, but supply has limited the speed and coverage. With this arrival, we can now accelerate protection across priority provinces and stabilise the livestock sector.”
Outbreaks have been reported in every province, prompting quarantine measures, movement restrictions and ongoing surveillance. A risk based vaccination strategy will focus first on outbreak centres in KwaZulu Natal and parts of Gauteng, Free State and North West, before extending to other high risk and border regions.
The initial one million doses will be shared across all provinces, with KwaZulu Natal and Free State receiving the largest allocations. However, the minister warned that vaccines alone will not end the crisis.
“Quarantine rules, movement permits and biosecurity measures exist to protect every farmer in the country. Those who deliberately move animals illegally, conceal infections, or ignore restrictions threaten the recovery of the entire sector. Where there is wilful non compliance, we will work with law enforcement authorities and the full might of the law will be applied,” Steenhuisen added.
He will visit Mooi River in KwaZulu Natal on 27 February to vaccinate dairy cattle alongside veterinarians and farmers. “The dairy industry has been among the hardest hit with significant production losses, disrupted markets and immense strain on farming families. That visit marks the practical beginning of recovery at farm level. Each vaccinated herd means stability returning to a business, wages returning to workers and milk returning to shelves.”
“We are moving step by step from crisis management to control,” Minister Steenhuisen concluded. “Vaccines are arriving, the system is scaling up, and compliance will be enforced. Working together, we will stabilise the sector and rebuild confidence in South Africa’s animal health system.”

Understanding the shifting landscape of global agriculture.
Global agriculture continues to expand, yet the agricultural machinery market is navigating a period of turbulence.
Economic uncertainty, geopolitical tensions and shifting trade policies are reshaping where and how farm equipment is bought and sold. This evolving landscape was outlined during the press conference launching the 47th edition of EIMA International, the world’s leading exhibition for agricultural technologies, set to take place in Bologna from 10 to 14 November.
Mariateresa Maschio, FederUnacoma President, said, “Protectionist policies in some countries, economic sanctions, interference with trade routes, and tariff wars have led to market fragmentation and a sharp slowdown in trade which is weighing on the performance of the agromechanical sector.”
Traditional markets are feeling the strain. The United States recorded a 10 percent fall in tractor sales in 2025, while Germany, France and the United Kingdom also posted double digit declines. In contrast, southern Europe is showing renewed momentum. Italy and Spain both closed the year with strong growth, signalling cautious optimism within the European agricultural machinery industry.
India remains the standout performer. With tractor sales exceeding 1.1 million units, the country continues to dominate the global market. According to Maschio, this growth reflects deeper structural demand rather than a short term spike. “Over the past fifteen years, output in the primary sector has grown significantly,” said Mariateresa Maschio, “but to meet the needs of the world’s population it will have to grow by a further 14% by 2034, especially in India and in those countries of North Africa, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East that are experiencing the highest demographic growth.”
A new geography of agricultural production is emerging, driven by mechanisation, digital farming solutions and expanding demand in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Chinese manufacturers are rapidly increasing their presence across these regions and even gaining ground in Europe.
“In the coming years we will have a highly segmented agromechanical sector, with low-cost basic technologies alongside highly advanced technologies for complex operations,” added Mariateresa Maschio, underlining the importance of innovation, policy support and international cooperation as the sector looks ahead.
