On the sidelines of the AFDB’s Annual Meetings in Busan, Korea in May 2018, the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA) donors and the African Fertiliser and Agribusiness Partnership (AFAP) have signed an agreement to support local supply and utilisation of fertiliser by smallholder farmers in Africa. This FAPA grant of US$1mn is expected to increase affordability, accessibility and incentives for fertiliser use among smallholder farmers in Africa and expand the supply and distribution of fertiliser by leveraging investments.
