For smallholder farmers, producing more is only part of the equation. Being able to sell what they produce matters too.

In 2025, crop sales among farmers reached through AGRA-supported interventions increased by 10.5%, more than double the annual target.

The result points to the importance of strengthening the connections between farmers and markets so that improvements in agricultural production can translate into stronger and more sustainable livelihoods.

It is an important part of the wider journey towards more productive and commercially connected smallholder agriculture.

Pour les petits exploitants agricoles, produire davantage n’est qu’une partie de l’équation. Pouvoir vendre leur production compte tout autant. En 2025, les ventes de récoltes des agriculteurs touchés par les interventions soutenues par AGRA ont augmenté de 10,5 %, soit plus du double de l’objectif annuel.

Ce résultat souligne l’importance de renforcer les liens entre les agriculteurs et les marchés, afin que l’amélioration de la production agricole puisse se traduire par des moyens de subsistance plus solides et plus durables.

Il s’agit d’une dimension essentielle de la transition vers une petite agriculture plus productive et mieux connectée aux marchés.

Climate change remains one of the greatest challenges facing Africa’s food systems.

How do we build resilience?
How do we protect livelihoods?
How do we secure the future of food?

As the Africa Food Systems Forum marks 20 years, offers a moment to reflect on two decades of progress and, importantly, confront the challenges that will define the next chapter of Africa’s food systems.

Climate resilience will be central to that conversation.

What can we learn from a year of working alongside farmers, governments, businesses and partners across Africa’s food systems?​

AGRA’s 2025 Annual Report reflects on the progress made, and the lessons emerging from our work across the continent.​

The results point to important shifts across farmer productivity, access to improved seed, commercialisation, enterprise growth, work opportunities, policy implementation and agricultural investment.​

As AGRA marks 20 years, these insights matter not simply as measures of progress, but as evidence to inform where we go next and how we can deepen impact for Africa’s farmers.​

For Riantsoa Mialinarindra, Co-Founder of SAKAFO Madagascar, growing as an entrepreneur has meant growing both her business and her confidence.

Through peer learning, one-on-one mentorship, tailored coaching and masterclasses, she gained practical support to strengthen market acquisition, sharpen business projections and navigate the realities of growing an agrifood business.

But the value went beyond business tools. It brought a community of young agripreneurs from across Africa, fresh perspectives and, in her words, a mirror to confront challenges with greater clarity and courage.

A reminder that supporting young agripreneurs is as much about building capable leaders as it is about building stronger businesses.

We recently came together in Abuja, Nigeria, to celebrate 20 years of AGRA, alongside government leaders, development partners, the private sector and civil society who have been part of the country’s agricultural transformation journey.

The conversations reflected on progress across seed systems, market access, climate resilience, policy and opportunities for women and young people, while looking ahead to what it will take to deepen that impact.

As Rufus Idris, AGRA Country Director for Nigeria, reflected: “AGRA was conceived as an alliance because no single entity can transform Africa’s food systems alone. The work of the past twenty years has been about driving strategic investment, creating jobs and building inclusive growth to make Nigeria’s agricultural foundation more resilient.”

Looking ahead, the focus is on scaling what works and strengthening the partnerships needed to deliver greater prosperity and resilience for farmers.

Senator Abubakar Kyari, Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, captured it well: “Empowering our local farmers is not just an agricultural policy; it is the ultimate driver of national prosperity and food sovereignty.”

As we celebrate , that remains at the heart of our work: when farmers prosper, Africa prospers.
