The Centre for Farming Excellence (CFE) is a hub dedicated to transforming farming practices in Africa into models of sustainability, efficiency, and profitability. Despite agriculture employing over 60% of Africa’s population and contributing significantly to GDP, many farms struggle due to challenges like low productivity, poor resource management, limited market access, and the impacts of climate change. These hurdles often lead to farm failures, reduced income, and food insecurity, highlighting the urgent need for innovative solutions.
CFE was established to address these issues and unlock the immense potential of African agriculture. By leveraging data-driven insights, cutting-edge research, and tailored training programs, we equip farmers and stakeholders with the tools they need to enhance yields, optimize processes, and build economically thriving farms. For example, farmers using precision agriculture techniques have seen yield increases of up to 40%, demonstrating the transformative power of modern farming practices.
At CFE, we are redefining farming as a profitable and sustainable enterprise. Our work turns challenges like soil degradation and market volatility into opportunities for growth, empowering farmers to build resilience and secure their livelihoods. Together, we are driving a new era of agricultural success, creating farms that thrive while contributing to food security, sustainability, and community empowerment across the continent.
Profitable Farms is a Monthly Magazine of the Centre for Farming Excellence, dedicated to showcasing innovative farming practices, ground-breaking research, and success stories that inspire transformation. Each edition delivers expert insights, actionable strategies, and data-driven solutions to empower farmers and agricultural stakeholders across Africa. From precision agriculture to climate-smart techniques, the magazine is your trusted resource for achieving sustainable, profitable, and resilient farming.
The Farming Excellence Summit is the annual conference of the Centre for Farming Excellence, bringing together farmers, agribusiness leaders, policymakers, researchers, and innovators to explore cutting-edge strategies for transforming Africa’s agricultural landscape. This dynamic event focuses on fostering sustainability, boosting farm profitability, and addressing critical challenges through collaboration and innovation. The 2025 Edition will hold from September 23-24, 2025 in Abuja, Nigeria
