The Senior President of OCP Africa for West Africa, Mohamed Hettiti, has urged international partners to work together to address the problems with food security and agriculture that the African continent is facing.
He made the comment while giving the keynote address at the currently ongoing Afriqom Fertilizer Club – West Africa.
In order to promote agriculture in Africa, he emphasized the crucial role of collaboration and knowledge-sharing in the fertilizer business.
He underlined the Group’s initiative which seeks to achieve food security in Africa and strengthen local farmers.
According to him, the program would offer farmers with 550,000 tonnes of phosphate-based fertilizer either for free or at a largely reduced price.
He called on partners to join hands and strive towards a broader objective, stressing the critical role that group effort plays in attaining sustainable development in the area.
The most recent effort by OCP Africa to improve food security in Africa was a cooperation with Microsoft’s Africa Transformation Office, which intends to assist smallholder farmers and other Agri-stakeholders throughout all of Africa by 2025.
