To care about African agriculture, we first must care about African agro-processing & agro-industry. Otherwise agriculture leads to exports of raw materials, low-value food, weak inputs, weak irrigation & subsistence farming.

Sadly the appalling behaviours of boohoo exposed by #BBCPanorama last night are endemic across the fashion sector Imposed 'discounts', unfair lead times mean suppliers can't cover cost of production & workers are exploited It's time for action 👇 action.transform-trade.org/fashion-watchd…

Friendly reminder that the lies to suppliers, forced price deductions & impossible lead times shown in the #BBCPanorama are NOT unique to Boohoo or 2023. Almost every big clothing company has been doing this for years & it's the workers who suffer awful working conditions

Absolutely! Billions of 💰💰💰continue to be lost by multinational companies evading fair taxes in Global South countries. Fair taxations could empower public service efforts, addressing global disparities, and the power to create a more equitable world. #ShiftThePower
