Africa’s agricultural sector is a cornerstone of the continent’s economy, employing over 60% of its population and contributing significantly to food security and livelihoods. Yet, smallholder farmers, who form the backbone of this sector, face immense challenges. Limited access to resources, unpredictable markets, climate change, and isolation often leave them trapped in cycles of poverty and food insecurity. However, amidst these challenges lies a transformative solution: farmer cooperatives. By uniting their efforts, smallholder farmers can amplify their voices, share resources, and access opportunities that were once out of reach. This article explores how cooperatives are empowering African farmers, fostering resilience, and driving sustainable development across the continent.

Sorghum, one of the world’s most drought-resistant crops, holds untapped potential for farmers' cooperatives and agribusiness firms in developing countries. With its resilience in the face of climate change and its wide range of applications across various industries, sorghum is increasingly becoming a valuable export commodity. This crop, particularly white and red sorghum grains, is finding its way into global markets, from the food and beverage sectors to the rapidly growing cosmetic industry.
