In The Spotlight
Finger Millet Improve Food Security in Kenya.
Kenya has selected finger millet and amaranth as strategic crops to enhance food diversity and nutrition across the country
This decision is part of a larger initiative aimed at tackling food insecurity and malnutrition while promoting sustainable farming practices. Both crops are known for their nutritional value, resilience, and ability to thrive in Kenya’s diverse and often challenging climates.
Finger millet is a drought-resistant cereal that proves especially valuable in areas with limited rainfall, where many other crops struggle to grow. Rich in essential nutrients like calcium, iron, and fibre, finger millet contributes significantly to the health of local populations, particularly in rural communities. However, despite its health benefits, finger millet has not been widely cultivated in Kenya for many years, primarily due to the dominance of maize and other more conventional crops.
Amaranth, a fast-growing and hardy plant, is another key crop being promoted. Known for its high protein content, amaranth also provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, including iron and zinc. These nutrients are especially beneficial for the growth and development of children and women. Amaranth can be grown in various soil types and is resilient in dry conditions, making it an excellent crop for Kenya’s varied agricultural zones.
The Kenyan government has recognised the importance of diversifying the country's food production. By encouraging the cultivation of finger millet and amaranth, the government hopes to reduce dependency on a limited range of crops, particularly maize, which is vulnerable to the effects of climate change. This shift will help address the widespread issue of malnutrition in many parts of the country by providing more nutrient-dense and diverse food options for local populations.
In addition to their nutritional benefits, finger millet and amaranth hold significant economic potential. Both crops are commercially viable, and their increased cultivation could provide farmers with better income opportunities. Moreover, these crops could stimulate the local agricultural economy by creating markets for value-added products, such as flour, snacks, and other processed goods, which could be sold both domestically and internationally.
Kenya’s focus on finger millet and amaranth represents a comprehensive approach to strengthening food security, promoting healthier diets, and fostering sustainable agricultural practices. Through this strategy, the country is working towards a more resilient and diverse food system, ensuring better nutrition and long-term agricultural stability for the future.

These tiny pests attack the roots of crops causing significant damage to food production.
Monioluwa Omolara Olaniyi, professor and a Nematology expert at the National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN), has highlighted the growing threat plant-parasitic nematodes pose to Nigeria's agricultural sector
These tiny pests, which attack the roots of crops, are causing significant damage to food production and the livelihoods of farmers, though their impact is often underestimated.
Speaking during NOUN’s 36th inaugural lecture in Abuja, Olaniyi explained that nematodes, often hidden beneath the soil, damage crops by stunting their growth and reducing yields. Their presence also weakens plants, making them more susceptible to other diseases. The damage caused by nematodes is often confused with nutrient deficiencies or drought stress, leaving many farmers unaware of the real cause behind their declining harvests.
Olaniyi pointed out that staple crops like vegetables, cereals, legumes, and tubers are particularly vulnerable to nematode infestations. These pests not only diminish crop yields but also threaten Nigeria's overall food security. She also warned that climate change, intensive monocropping, and poor farming practices further exacerbate the problem by providing an ideal environment for nematode populations to flourish.
Drawing on decades of research, Olaniyi presented sustainable solutions for managing nematode infestations. She advocated for proper diagnosis, the use of clean planting materials, and eco-friendly pest control methods that reduce the reliance on harmful pesticides. These approaches not only help maintain environmental health but also contribute to creating more resilient and sustainable food systems, aligning with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
Olufemi Peters, Vice-Chancellor of NOUN, praised Olaniyi’s groundbreaking research, recognising its importance in bridging scientific knowledge with practical field applications. He noted that nematology offers valuable solutions to both farmers and policymakers as Nigeria works towards achieving food security and sustainable agricultural practices.
Olaniyi, a former Deputy Vice-Chancellor at NOUN, expressed her ongoing commitment to advancing research in nematology. She also emphasised the importance of mentoring young scientists and integrating traditional knowledge with modern science to strengthen Nigeria's agricultural resilience.

From rugged dirt tracks to remote farmlands, ISUZU has long been part of the rhythm of South African agriculture
Known for durability, reliability, and low total cost of ownership, ISUZU trucks have helped generations of farmers move livestock, harvests, tools, and supplies across some of the country’s most unforgiving terrain. It’s more than just a business relationship — it’s a partnership rooted in shared values, trust, and a deep understanding of the land.
Agriculture is more than a market segment for ISUZU; it’s a core part of their identity. Farming powers the South African economy through job creation, exports, and innovation. ISUZU recognises this and has shaped its approach around one belief — when farmers succeed, the entire country thrives. Their vehicles are built with these realities in mind: strong, economical, and always dependable, especially in the country’s most remote regions.
This commitment stretches beyond the sale. ISUZU offers comprehensive aftersales service, reliable parts availability, roadside support, and a wide network of dealers in farming areas. It’s not just about delivering trucks; it’s about keeping farmers moving — and that means less downtime, less stress, and more productivity.
A clear example of ISUZU’s dedication to agriculture is the JCR 800 Special Edition — the brand’s most affordable 8-tonner, designed specifically for the South African market. “Named in tribute to one of our legendary models, the JCR 800 is a no-nonsense workhorse designed to deliver maximum value and performance where it matters most.” It was developed with local input from engineers and dealers to meet the everyday needs of small to medium-scale farmers. Whether it’s carrying produce, feed, tools, or livestock, the JCR 800 is built to get the job done in the field, on gravel, or out on the open road.
Then there’s the backbone of countless South African farms — ISUZU bakkies. For nearly 50 years, these vehicles have proven themselves reliable, tough, and versatile enough to handle the daily demands of farming. Whether it’s an early morning market run or navigating muddy fields, ISUZU bakkies are built to keep up. Spacious interiors, safety features, and powerful engines make them a trusted companion on any farm, big or small.
ISUZU understands that farming isn’t just a job — it’s a lifestyle. And in that life, every tool, including your vehicle, must earn its place. While cheaper options may seem tempting, the long-term costs of breakdowns, inefficiency, and poor resale value often outweigh the upfront savings.
Precision irrigation is fast becoming a powerful solution.
With rising input costs, limited water availability, and increasing demands on productivity, farmers today are under more pressure than ever
Precision irrigation is fast becoming a powerful solution, enabling growers to use water and nutrients far more efficiently by delivering them directly to the plant's root zone—exactly when and where they’re needed.
According to David Nganga, Technical Advisor for Netafim Southern & East Africa in Zambia, precision irrigation is about “delivering water and nutrients directly to the plant's root zone, in the exact amount and at the right time.” This approach reduces waste and maximises plant growth and yield. Among the available methods, drip irrigation is especially efficient, significantly reducing water loss through evaporation, runoff, and deep percolation. This means more of the water actually benefits the plants, boosting productivity.
A common myth is that drip systems are too complex or only suited for high-value crops. In reality, many farmers who’ve switched to drip find it quite straightforward. The key lies in proper setup and regular maintenance, such as cleaning filters and checking driplines for blockages. When maintained well, these systems run reliably and consistently.
One major benefit of drip irrigation is energy efficiency. Less water is needed, and it can be delivered at lower pressure, cutting down on electricity usage. As Henco Grobler of Senekal Boerdery in South Africa puts it, “Drip irrigation enables economically viable large-scale sugarcane production because of the energy savings involved.” These cost savings are often enough to make large-scale operations profitable where traditional irrigation would be too expensive.
Scalability is another strong advantage of precision irrigation. Whether you're managing a home garden or a large commercial farm, the technology can be adapted to your needs. Marco Appel, Agricultural Economist for Netafim Southern & East Africa, stresses the importance of weighing the full picture: “Farmers and project designers must evaluate factors like installation costs, ongoing maintenance, water and electricity expenses, and labour to determine if precision irrigation is a wise investment.”
Understanding your soil plays a vital role in getting the most from precision systems. Different soil types hold water differently, and even basic hands-on checks—like feeling moisture near the root zone—can help optimise watering schedules.
Choosing the right equipment is essential. Factors such as the type of crop, soil condition, field layout, water source, and even how long the system needs to last should influence your decisions. Options like pressure-compensated drippers or anti-root intrusion features can enhance performance and longevity.
The results are hard to ignore: up to 50% water savings, 30% less fertiliser used, and yield increases of between 30–50%. With better crop uniformity, lower labour demands, and reduced power costs, precision irrigation is paving the way for smarter, more sustainable agriculture.
Over time, it fosters a more observant and efficient farming culture—where growers are more aware of their soil, use inputs more wisely, and reduce waste across the board.
RoboOptimizer enhances poultry processing efficiency. (Image credit: Marel)
Marel has introduced the RoboOptimizer, a cutting-edge automation tool designed to remove the labour-intensive task of loading portion cutters in poultry processing
This intelligent positioning system works seamlessly with the I-Cut 122 portion cutter, forming a fully automated process from the moment singulated fillets are placed on the belt.
By taking full control of positioning and communication with the portion cutter, RoboOptimizer ensures accuracy and consistency throughout the operation. It doesn’t just handle the cutting—it manages the flow of products downstream as well, making it a comprehensive solution for modern processors.
Traditionally, workers have been responsible for placing chicken fillets on belts, a process that directly impacts the quality of the final product. Inconsistent or incorrect placement would often result in lower yields and poor cuts. RoboOptimizer solves this problem by organising the fillets accurately before they reach the portion cutter. Using a rapid gripper system, it can manage up to 120 fillets per minute across dual belts—an efficiency no human operator can match.
“With RoboOptimizer, we really step away from labour. If the products are singulated, portion cutting can now be done without staff. The system will do the job with much more consistency and accuracy than people could ever do. The operator who loads breast caps into the deboning system could potentially be the last person to touch the meat. RoboOptimizer comes as close to a labour-free solution as possible,” says Morten Dalqvist, Marel Product Specialist.
The system features a laser vision scanner that covers an 800 mm-wide conveyor. It measures each fillet’s size and orientation, even distinguishing between left and right fillets—a Marel-patented feature. This distinction is vital to preserve meat fibres and avoid damage during the cutting and tumbling stages.
“Optimising the angle of each individual fillet can give a significantly better yield for strips,” adds Dalqvist. “There are fewer off-cuts because we can optimise the right strip length all the time. Before, we used to cut a fixed trim of a certain size to ensure that the first strip met the requirements. By using the RoboOptimizer, we can reduce this trim to a minimum and still ensure the correct strip length. This eventually increases the overall yield.”
Faulty or misaligned fillets are also filtered out before reaching the cutter, preventing downstream issues. The system then uses strip-optimising software to determine how each fillet should be used—whether for cubes, burgers, or precise strips—maximising both yield and product quality.
Factories relying on manual loading for portion cutting, especially in QSR, food service, or retail production, stand to gain significantly from adopting RoboOptimizer. With full integration for sorting, trimming, and routing, and virtually no labour required, it redefines automation in poultry processing.
Enhancing Liberia’s rubber sector with innovation.
As dawn breaks in Liberia’s countryside, Moses Dolo begins his daily routine, carefully cutting rubber trees to collect the latex that drips into cups
It’s painstaking work, but one he knows well. By May, Dolo had collected nearly three tons-enough to earn about US$1,500. “Rubber farming is labor-intensive,” he says. “If you want to earn a profit as a smallholder, you need to be involved in tapping, not just rely on workers.”
But just as he was ready to sell, he was hit with crushing news: Firestone, Liberia’s largest rubber buyer, had halted all purchases. The company called the government’s new pricing policy “unsustainable.”
“I had grown used to the uncertainties of the business, fluctuating prices and irregular buyers,” Dolo remembers. “But nothing prepared me for what happened in June.” He was left with unsold latex-three tons of wasted effort and dashed hope.
This experience has been common for smallholders, who for decades relied on Firestone’s unpredictable buying habits. That changed in August when Dolo heard about the Jeety Rubber Factory in Weala, Margibi County. Built at a cost of US$35mn, the facility now buys rubber directly from smallholders at the government’s set price of us$574.06 per ton.
“The factory is a blessing,” Dolo says. “We no longer worry about whether Firestone will buy or not… they pay cash immediately. It is direct.”
For many farmers, Jeety has brought a lifeline. The government’s pricing formula includes deductions for taxes and contributions to industry bodies, leaving smallholders with a net of $545.93 per ton. The rate is based on monthly averages from the Singapore Commodity Exchange and includes a modest profit margin for processors.
Experts see this as a long-overdue correction in a market that’s long disadvantaged smallholders. Unlike Firestone, Jeety depends almost entirely on these local producers and needs far more latex than its own 4,400-hectare plantation can provide. Daily demand is expected to rise to 400 tons.
Merey Napal explains, “If you or your workers are strong enough, and your trees aren’t too old, you can sell three tons weekly, that’s US$1,722 or more monthly.”
The Jeety model has sparked a revival in smallholder confidence and planning. “Recently, many farmers have begun replanting, which is excellent for long-term sustainability,” says Jerry Sumoward, weighing nearly 11 tons at the factory yard.
With Jeety spending around US$803,000 weekly on latex, and projecting annual purchases of US$40–50mn, optimism is growing. Backed by replanting loans repaid gradually from sales, smallholders like Hawa Singbeh now see a future in rubber.
“Now, with the company’s support, I am replanting and expanding my farm… My children can see that rubber farming has a future now.”
The project is creating new economic opportunities and empowering local communities.
The Livestock and Fish Farming Value Chain Development Project (PD-CVEP), funded by the African Development Bank (AfDB) with €84 million, is transforming fish farming in Cameroon, particularly along the coast and southwestern regions
Implemented by the Ministry of Livestock, Fisheries and Animal Industries, the project is creating new economic opportunities and empowering local communities, with a focus on women and youth.
A key factor in the project’s success is a specially developed strain of African catfish (Clarias) created by the Agricultural Research Institute for Development. This new breed grows faster, has lower fat content, and higher fry survival rates. Farmers can now harvest in five to six months, instead of eight to nine, with survival rates of 80–85%, up from around 60%. Each female can produce 15,000–20,000 fry per cycle, with up to three cycles annually.
During the project’s initial phase, 2,600 broodstock were distributed to 50 pilot hatcheries, producing and selling over 115,000 fry since October 2024. While most hatcheries performed strongly, some broodstock required an additional three months of growth before full use.
Alongside broodstock distribution, 280 fish farmers received training across the entire aquaculture value chain, covering floating cage farming, hatchery management, feed formulation, and business operations. The training aims to improve technical skills, resilience, and product quality.
The project plans to increase Cameroon’s annual fish production by 10,000 tonnes by 2027, reducing reliance on imports and strengthening food security. To expand the gene pool, an AfDB mission in April 2025 recommended adding 12,000 Clarias and 3,000 tilapia broodstock, which are set for delivery under a new agreement.
A collaborative partnership between the Research Institute, the Project, and the Ministry works closely with regional fish farming associations. Regular monitoring, quarterly technical reports, and digital data collection ensure traceability, quality, and consistent performance.
Farmers and vendors are already benefiting. In Douala, the new catfish remains firm and flavoursome, helping sellers earn higher income. Improved market infrastructure—such as hygienic counters, ice access, running water, and better security—is enhancing sales and dignity for vendors.
Overall, PD-CVEP demonstrates a sustainable, inclusive development model that strengthens Cameroon’s rural economy through innovation, capacity building, and modern aquaculture practices.

The initiative aims to support local farmers raising cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry.
The Livestock Productivity and Resilience Support (L-PRES) Project, supported by the World Bank, is stepping up efforts to reduce the impact of livestock diseases in Taraba State
The initiative aims to support local farmers raising cattle, sheep, goats, and poultry by building stronger disease prevention and control systems.
At a recent training session held in Jalingo for veterinary officers and animal health technologists, Hananiah Albert, the State Project Coordinator, explained that the project focuses on early disease detection, quicker reporting, and coordinated response.
“Livestock diseases such as Anthrax, Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), Hemorrhagic Septicemia, and African Swine Fever continue to disrupt production and trade in Taraba, significantly affecting farmers’ livelihoods and threatening food security,” Albert said.
He pointed out that delays in identifying outbreaks and gaps in communication between field officers make the situation worse.
His words: “What makes these outbreaks more devastating is the delay in detection and the gaps in reporting and coordination among field officers and response systems. This is why L-PRES is working to build a collaborative platform where all stakeholders can work together for effective surveillance and control.”
Albert added that L-PRES is not only focused on controlling diseases but also on strengthening Nigeria’s emergency response and making livestock farming more commercially viable.
Speaking at the event, Taraba State’s Commissioner for Agriculture and Food Security, Nicholas Namessan, affirmed the government’s support for the programme. He stressed the need for partnerships between the public and private sectors.
“Disease control should not be left to the government alone. We need continued collaboration with private animal health professionals, community leaders, and farmers to build a more resilient and productive livestock sector,” Namessan said.
The project is creating new economic opportunities and empowering local communities.
The main goal of PigSmart is to strengthen veterinary and extension support by providing farmers with timely.
anzania's agricultural revolution: a blueprint for Africa.
Tanzania is quickly becoming a standout example of how African nations can transform their agricultural systems to achieve long-term food security and economic resilience
Speaking at the 2024 World Food Prize Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue in Iowa, President Samia Suluhu Hassan proudly announced that Tanzania has reached an exceptional 128 percent level of food self-sufficiency. This means the country now produces more than enough food to feed its population and is in a position to export the surplus to neighbouring nations.
The achievement has drawn praise from leading figures in global development. Dr Akinwumi Adesina, President of the African Development Bank, credited Tanzania for igniting momentum across the continent toward a new era of agricultural transformation. He pointed to key events like the 2023 Dakar 2 Food Summit, which attracted more than US$72bn in investments, as a catalyst for Africa’s food revolution.
Tanzania’s success isn’t just about producing more—it’s also about diversifying agriculture and building inclusive rural economies. One notable example is the rise of cashew nut processing and exports, a sector that had been largely controlled by Asian markets. Tanzania is now asserting itself as a major player in this industry.
Crucial to this transformation has been rural infrastructure development, particularly bringing electricity to nearly all village communities. This access to power has enabled farmers to adopt modern tools and techniques, boosting productivity across the board.
A major driver of Tanzania’s agricultural evolution is the “Creating Jobs for Youth and Women” initiative, supported by the African Development Bank. This programme equips young people with training and access to land, encouraging them to pursue careers in agriculture. So far, more than 11,000 individuals have benefited, and the model is gaining attention from other countries looking to tap into their youthful populations.
The broader vision, highlighted during the Borlaug Dialogue, is for Africa to shift from food insecurity to becoming a net food exporter. With its vast arable land and growing number of young innovators, the continent has the potential to help feed the world—provided there’s sustained investment in technology, infrastructure, and capacity building.
Tanzania’s journey illustrates what’s possible when political will, strategic investment, and local empowerment come together in agriculture. Its progress sets a powerful example for other nations seeking not just to survive, but to lead in the global food economy.
