The processing of food from crop production to end users’ products is a chain that should be encouraged in Africa to provide necessary jobs in the agricultural sector. 

Agro processing in other continents have encouraged the formation of Cooperatives that have, in turn, proven to provide an estimated 100 million jobs around the world.

In these plans priority was given to 27 poorest District Municipalities which were expected to be fully fledged agro-hubs and would offer all services along the various commodities value chains.
