Mallowah:COMESA states have the most fertile soils, yet every year we spent billions on food imports

COMESA SUMMIT 2025 Debra Mallowah, Bayer : As COMESA states, we have some of the most fertile soils, abundant labour and entrepreneurial farmers yet every year we import billions of dollars worth of food. We have to treat climate smart agriculture and digital innovation as the foundation of Africa's growth model. That will be the fastest root to food security and export competitiveness. #COMESASummit2025
