This high-level session (including lunch) with a selected group of companies, financial institutions and other actors aims to kick-start the work on efforts to transform African food systems.

In the session, we ask participants to share their regional focus and main commodities, and together we will identify complimentary assets. We will define priorities for increasing investments in food processing and other value addition to the supply chains of the participating companies.
