The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one of Africa's most active foreign direct investment
(FDI) investors. The country announced in January 2020 that it had high regard for
its relationships with African governments based on "mutual respect and common interests,
to achieve the aspirations of their peoples for development, progress, and prosperity."1 Experts in a recent Dubai Chamber webinar saw the rising demand for digital solutions,
infrastructure, oilfield equipment, and logistics services as promising areas for
cooperation between Dubai-based companies and their counterparts in Africa.
THE GROWING PREVALENCE OF AGRI-TECH IN AGRICULTURE IN AFRICA by Johan Burger Agriculture in Africa is a bit of a contradiction. Africa has 60% - 65% of the world's
uncultivated arable land; it can feed the world. However, while a country such as
the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) can feed Africa's population of 1.3 billion,
it struggles to feed its population of approximately 90 million.
RECENT RETAIL DEVELOPMENTS IN EAST AFRICA by Johan Burger Africa's retail sector offers many opportunities. The continent has 1.3 billion people,
which will grow to 2.4 billion by 2050 and over 4 billion by 2100. At the same time,
the population is urbanizing, while the consumer segment is growing as well. Most
of the population is served by informal markets, primarily, but not exclusively, in
rural and under-developed areas. The primary retail drive into Africa has come from
South Africa, with foreign players such as Carrefour and Walmart also targeting the
continent. This “African expansion” has met with mixed success. This report addresses
some of the more recent developments in the sector.
