Centre for Farming Excellence

…Transforming Farms, Growing Profit

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.
