According to Mr. Yofi Grant, Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Investment Promotion Centre (GIPC), Africa has the capacity to produce enough food to feed both its own population and the rest of the globe.
He claimed that Africa contains all the necessary mineral resources for transitional energies as well as around 65% of the remaining arable land in the world.
“Africa not only has the ability to feed itself, but also the entire world. With the necessary mineral resources for transitional energy, along with roughly 65% of the remaining arable land on the planet,” he tweeted.
It also boasts astonishingly substantial oil and gas reserves. We must unlock the $38 trillion’s potential.

Africa can not only just feed itself, it can feed the world. With about 65% of the world’s remaining arable land, and all required mineral resources for transition energies. It has remarkably large gas & oil reserves as well. The potential of $38 trillion needs to be unleashed.

He further indicated that Africa is a massive opportunity for global economic recovery. But it’s agriculture is distressed.
“IMHO current global economics of food trade may be an obstacle to production on the continent. It has facilitated massive agro-inequalities too. Africa ready to change that. Invest”
