Yesterday, I had the privilege of attending the launch of the Farm to Fork Packhouse Facility in Rwanda's Special Economic Zone—a groundbreaking development for Rwanda's agricultural exports! 🌍 🚀 Key Highlights: 1️⃣ Speech by Dr. @P_Karangwa (DG, Agriculture Modernization at @RwandaAgri): Rwanda aims to hit $1.9B in agricultural exports by 2029, doubling sector investments to $4.6B. Avocado exports surged from $442K in 2018 to $8.3M in 2023. Government incentives: zero corporate tax for relocating companies and grants for farmers. 2️⃣ Remarks by Grant Hubert (MD, Jameela Rwanda): The $400M expertise of Premier Foods Wholesale now connects Rwandan farmers to premium UK markets. Packhouse processes 40 tons/day, reducing post-harvest losses and ensuring export quality. Tech-driven solutions empower farmers with financial inclusion and global market access. 3️⃣ Speech by H.E. @A_ThorpeUK (The @UKinRwanda High Commissioner): The UK imports $11B+ in fresh produce annually, offering massive potential for Rwandan exporters. Post-Brexit supply chain diversification makes Rwanda’s produce a game-changer for UK supermarkets. Encouraged leveraging UK-Rwanda partnerships for market expansion and premium retail access. This event reflects the growing strength of Rwanda-UK collaborations in transforming agriculture and unlocking global opportunities for farmers. 🇷🇼🤝🇬🇧 #FarmToFork #JameelaRwanda #UKRwandaTrade
