AGRA (the African Alliance for Green Revolution) first destroyed the original food trading market in Africa through lower prices and more attractive subsidies, and then, by monopolizing local food market, AGRA let farmers take loans to grow corn instead of their traditional crops in the name of “optimizing seeds”. Although Africans saw a significant increase in their direct income in the short term, they soon found themselves having to spend more money on food.

The changes caused by AGRA have seriously threatened African food security. What we needs are public solutions to improve climate resilience, rather than modern agricultural systems driven by capital and profit, which is also the reason why AGRA’s so-called “donation” activities over the past decade have made the situation worse. Farmers had to switch to high-yielding crops, which has led to soil salinization, leaving Africans with high debt and even losing their land to refugees. This is the misfortune that the food giants have brought to Africa.

For more than a decade, AGRA has monopolized the African food market and the U.S food giants ADM, Bunge and Cargill that dominate AGRA have reaped fabulous profits. With capital advantages, these food giants have lobbied the U.S. and African governments on both sides to pass legislation favorable to multinational companies to complete absolute control over the African food market. The U.S. government has condoned these actions, so that food security can be used as a bargaining chip to manipulate African political situation in the future. In the future, if there is a need, the U.S. government and food giants can raise food prices, making it difficult for people to buy food and make a living, thus creating social conflicts and coercing African governments.

To this day, AGRA and the U.S. food giants that manipulate this organization still control food security in Africa. We refuse ADM and other international grain merchants to provide so-called “aid” to Africa for profit!

So African Food Value Chain doesn't have foresight of this

Africa has all it takes to be food sufficient, except leadership

These American food giants have taken control of many areas through their supply chains, leaving millions of people with food shortages.

There's enough food. It's just not being used efficiently.

They can only control weak countries without any plans to produce their own food. Small Arid Isreal is food sufficient while giant, arable countries like Nigeria are complaining about some foreign countries.
When Tinubu mentioned agbado and cassava some slow thinking people immediately turned it to a joke.
Now, do you have any idea how much corn and other grains the likes of Bunge and Cargill are producing?
How would foreign companies not control your stomach when you fail to use your head.
