Enactus Kenya and Syngenta have announced the launch of an Africa Agribusiness Competition and have invited youth across the continent to generate creative business ideas that would improve the agricultural productivity of crop value chains.
Through the online platform www.agribiz4africa.com, youth aged between 18 and 30 from sub-Saharan Africa are invited to submit 500-word business ideas that will be judged by leading agribusiness academics from East and West Africa.
The best 25 contestants will each receive a $1,000 grant to test the viability of their idea.
The best three among them will then be selected by a recognised panel of agribusiness leaders and invited to attend the AGRF Forum on African agriculture to be held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in early September, where they will have a chance to mingle with some of Africa’s most influential thought leaders and receive due recognition for their ideas.
In recognition of the need to position agriculture as an attractive occupation for young people, youth with talent in the creative arts have a special category in which to compete, dubbed the Agriculture Video Messaging Competition. Read more
