East Africa to double fruit and vegetable exports
The East African Community (EAC) unveiled its annual US $25m project to export fruits and vegetables regionally and internationally. If the strategic project sails through, it will see the EAC doubling its fruits and vegetable exports. In its 10-year strategic plan from 2021 – 2031, the EAC projects to increase the farming area under fruit production by 5% to 10 million hectares. If implemented, the intra – EAC trade in fruits and vegetable products would increase from the current $ 9.9 million to $ 25 million by 2031.
The region also plans to increase vegetable production by five percent of area cultivated to 45 million hectares from 32.8 million hectares with productivity increasing by at least 3%.
