This morning in Nairobi, we opened an important conversation about the next chapter of Africa’s agrifood systems. As part of #AGRAat20, we launched our Impact, Learning & Foresight Report, bringing together members of the media to unpack what two decades of evidence tell us about Africa’s progress, and what needs to change. Over the past 20 years, together with our partners, we have helped strengthen critical capacities across the continent: supporting over 100 seed companies, more than 650 improved seed varieties, over 25,000 agro-dealers and 33,000 Village Based Advisors, while five million farmers have been trained in soil health and climate-smart practices. These are contributions to a much bigger African transformation, built alongside governments, farmers, researchers, businesses, financiers and development partners. But the report is equally clear: progress has been real, but it has not yet added up to the transformation Africa needs. The next chapter must ensure that gains in productivity translate into income, resilience, dignity and opportunity for farmers. The next 20 years must turn progress into prosperity.

Today in Nairobi, we are celebrating 20 years of AGRA; two decades of working alongside Africa’s farmers, governments, researchers, businesses, financiers and development partners to advance the continent’s agricultural transformation. But #AGRAat20 is also a moment to look critically at the journey: what has worked, what has not, what we have learned, and what Africa’s food systems will demand of us next. That reflection is grounded in AGRA’s Impact, Learning & Foresight Report, drawing on evidence and learning from the past two decades to help shape an actionable agenda for the future. The evidence points to important progress, but also an unfinished transformation. The challenge ahead is ensuring that gains in productivity translate into income, resilience, dignity and opportunity for smallholder farmers. As we celebrate how far we have come together today, our eyes are firmly on what comes next. #AGRAat20 #AGRA #AGRAImpact #AGRAForesightReport

For millions of smallholder farmers, productivity remains closely connected to food security, income and resilience.​ In 2025, average yields of priority crops among farmers reached through AGRA, supported interventions increased by 25%.​ Behind productivity are interconnected systems: access to appropriate seed and inputs, knowledge and extension, functioning markets and an enabling policy environment.​ Strengthening these systems remains critical to ensuring productivity gains can contribute to more resilient farms and stronger livelihoods.​ Explore the 2025 Annual report: agra.org/2025-annual-report/ ​ #AGRA #AGRAImpact #AGRAat20 #AGRAAnnualReport2025​ ​____________________________________________________ Pour des millions de petits exploitants agricoles, la productivité reste étroitement liée à la sécurité alimentaire, aux revenus et à la résilience.​ En 2025, les rendements moyens des cultures prioritaires parmi les agriculteurs touchés par les interventions soutenues par AGRA ont augmenté de 25 %.​ Derrière la productivité se trouvent des systèmes interdépendants : accès à des semences et intrants adaptés, connaissances et services de conseil agricole, marchés fonctionnels et environnement politique favorable.​ Le renforcement de ces systèmes reste essentiel pour que les gains de productivité puissent contribuer à des exploitations plus résilientes et à de meilleurs moyens de subsistance.​ Découvrez le Rapport annuel 2025: agra.org/2025-annual-report/​ #AGRA #AGRAImpact #AGRAat20 #AGRAAnnualReport2025
