Biz Africa

The NEWS platform for farming families feeding Africa

Our Community

Built by smallholders, for smallholders, our community is changing lives every day by building farming and agriculture know how in Africa.

Making the change

  • 88.8% of our polled readers say they changed their farming after reading a FarmBizAfrica story
  • 30% say they have made more than 5 farming changes because of FarmBizAfrica stories
  • 69.2% say just their top change increased their income by more than 20%
  • 15.3% say just one FarmBizAfrica change increased their income by more than 60%

X a million

  • Over 200,000 farmers read our stories every month
  • They view over a million stories a month
  • Polled readers report making changes from approximately 1 in 10 of the FarmBizAfrica stories they read
  • That’s 100,000 farming changes a month

At FAO average income, at 35% increase per change, that equals:

$322m added to annual farming incomes for our readers each month
