West African agriculture faces challenges including climate variability, limited access to finance and markets, soil degradation, reliance on rain-fed agriculture, and pest infestations. Political instability and inadequate infrastructure also hinder agricultural development and efficiency in the region.
The main agricultural industries in West Africa include cereal crops such as rice, and maize; cash crops like cocoa, coffee, and cashew nuts; and livestock farming. The region is also known for its production of yams, cassava, and groundnuts, reflecting its diverse agricultural capabilities and climatic zones.
Farrelly Mitchell supports the design and implementation of robust food systems, policies, and programs throughout West Africa. We focus on improving market linkages for smallholders, capacity building, and industrialisation in an increasingly commercialised industry. Their efforts include infrastructure development, promoting investments, and strengthening supply chains, all aimed at enhancing food security, ensuring sustainability, and driving economic improvements in the West African agrifood sector.
