Podcast: Building strong value chains in Africa

IDH’s Grown Sustainably in Africa (GSA) program works with international brands to strengthen and develop their supply base on the African continent, while empowering SMEs in Africa to enhance their agricultural productivity and become commercially viable. Through these partnerships GSA aims to increases intra-African trade, build stable regional food systems and create permanent and sustainable jobs.

In this podcast, IDH’s Kebba Colley, Director of inclusive business, is joined by Fatih Ermis, Head of agricultural services West and Central Africa at Nestlé and Kwame Boateng, CEO of Sahel Grains. They talk about what the GSA partnership means for them, and how it brings value to both their businesses and the African continent.
