Why the Common African Agro-Parks (CAAPs) are Vital to Africa's Future The Common African Agro-Parks (CAAPs) initiative represents a critical turning point for Africa's agricultural and economic landscape. Comprising five agro-industrial zones strategically placed in each of Africa's geographical regions, CAAPs are planned to address some of the continent's most pressing challenges, from food security to economic diversification. Here is why the CAAPs are essential for addressing Africa's food security: Africa currently faces significant food security challenges, with many countries reliant on food imports to meet domestic demand. The CAAPs are set to produce substantial quantities of essential crops and livestock, such as: - Rice: 12.7 million tons annually - Maize: 20 million tons annually - Cassava & Yam: 100 million tons annually - Poultry: 1.7 million tons of meat annually - Livestock: 225,000 tons of meat annually - Horticulture: 85,000 tons of fruits & vegetables annually - Wheat: Quantum of Wheat supplied to Africa - Cocoa: Full transformation of Cocoa in West Africa By boosting local production, CAAPs aim to reduce the continent's dependence on imports, ensuring a more secure and self-sufficient food supply.
