In this issue, I feature a report – by Anne Wangalachi of http://agra-alliance.org, that highlights the fact that a new generation of your young African agro entrepreneurs is emerging. They are described as “well-educated, business- and tech-savvy, stylish and the epitome of success” – running well manged farms that compare favourably with other kinds of businesses.

The rest of this issue features news articles announcing latest varieties of crops like Rice, Beans, Cassava, and Pepper.
