Building the Next Superpower: Africa’s Food Power Play

Agriculture Summit Africa 2026 is a continental call to build an Africa that does not merely feed itself, but commands the systems, markets and capabilities that shape its food future.

Africa holds approximately 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, yet imports more than $50 billion worth of food each year. This is not a shortage of potential. It is the consequence of disconnected systems, where production is separated from finance, farmers from quality inputs, infrastructure from markets, and policy from long-term agricultural transformation.

Under the theme, “Building the Next Superpower: Africa’s Food Power Play,” ASA 2026 will bring together leaders across government, agribusiness, finance, technology, development, research and farming to move the continent from food security to food sovereignty.

The summit will explore how Africa can build stronger value chains, mobilise smarter finance, scale innovation, strengthen intra-African trade, improve food processing and storage, and create policies that empower producers and protect the continent’s food future.

This is Africa’s moment to turn its soil, talent, enterprise and markets into strategic power. To produce more of what it consumes. To process more of what it produces. To trade more within its borders. And to build an agricultural economy capable of feeding its people, creating prosperity and competing on the global stage.

ASA 2026 is where the conversation becomes coordination, and where Africa’s food power play begins.
