Delivering More Corn to African Consumers – Quiz # 5
More than 400 million Africans depend on corn (maize) for an average of one-third of their daily caloric intake. Of the 22 countries in the world where corn accounts for the highest percentage of calorie intake in the national diet, 16 are in Africa.
While Africa accounts for roughly 6.5% of worldwide corn production, Africans directly consume some 30% of all corn produced worldwide. Further, between 30% and 50% of post-harvest African-raised corn fails to reach African consumers. Such deficits in Africa’s food staple are no small matter for a continent that is home to more than 200 million undernourished people.
What is one Israeli company doing to ensure that more of the corn produced in Africa is consumed in Africa?
