Sunil Mittal Foresees Africa as Catalyst for Revolutionizing Global Agri and Food

Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chair of B20 India Action Council on African Economic Integration while addressing the current global food production crisis emphasized the potential transformative impact of embracing Africa for agricultural pursuits.

He highlighted the growing momentum of African economic integration and expressed optimism about the African Union's potential inclusion as a permanent G20 member.

Mittal underscored the significance of incorporating Africa's perspective into the G20, deeming it crucial.

With 60% of the world's arable and untapped land located in Africa, he argued that the continent could play a pivotal role in alleviating the prevailing food crisis.

By adopting Africa as a hub for agriculture, particularly in value-added sectors, he suggested that global dynamics could experience a profound shift.

Speaking during the B20 Summit India 2023, Mittal urged the consideration of Africa's untapped agricultural potential as a solution to the ongoing global challenges in food production.
