Africa holds nearly 60% of the world’s uncultivated arable land, yet paradoxically still relies on food imports to meet its domestic demand. This scenario presents significant challenges but also reveals major opportunities to advance toward the continent’s food sovereignty. At the same time, Brazil stands out as a global agribusiness powerhouse, combining competitive advantages, high productivity, and technological innovation, even in adverse environments. How can the possible synergies and pathways of cooperation between Brazil and Africa be aligned to strengthen a more efficient and sustainable agribusiness sector, capable of driving economic and social development?
