Illicit Tobacco Trade
Serious concerns have arisen over illicit tobacco trade that is affecting thousands of farm workers in most tobacco growing countries in Africa, especially in South Africa. Is there any protocol within the World Health Organisation (WHO) to combat the worldwide illicit tobacco trade?
The answer to this lies in the 2012 World Health Organisation Treaty, which was designed to combat exactly the same activities.
Is the industry protected? We speak to Christo van Staden from Limpopo Tobacco Processors and Theo de Jager, President of the World Farmers Organisation.

Towards ‘A new normal’ – measures to mitigate COVID-19 in the food systems.
The extra ordinary disruption caused by COVID-19 on the African food systems needs conceited efforts to mitigate its impacts. A coalition to galvanise leadership and problem –solving in the continent’s food systems has been established by the African Union’s development agency- AUDA- NEPAD, in partnership with the World Economic Forum (WEF) and the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD).
Martin Bwalya is AUDA- NEPAD’s head of a newly established department at the agency, called the Industrialisation Division. He speaks to Agro Africa on how the coalition will champion cross-cutting measures in response to COVID-19.

Partnerships in Agriculture- Towards 2025

One of the Malabo commitments was enhancing investment finance in agriculture. In this week’s program we hear how a partnership announcement to empower previously disadvantaged farmers in South Africa could facilitate investment finance in agriculture in the country.
