African Farming and Food Processing, first published in 1980, has established itself as the only magazine for the agricultural and primary food processing industries distributed throughout English-speaking Africa. The publication's success reflects the growing emphasis placed upon the development of the agricultural sector by government and aid agencies throughout the African continent.


Although aid money still plays a major role in the development of Africa's agriculture, the economic liberalisation policies have resulted in more funds coming into the private sector. Improving transport links to Europe are helping the growth of exports, which in turn is attracting inward investment. The expenditure of aid and investment funds is influenced by officials in the field as well as those based in the European, American or Asian offices.
