Come home and invest in Agriculture- Agricwealth Executive Director to African Diaspora

 

 

Columbus, Ohio 29 June, 2026 The Chief Executive Director of Agricwealth, Mr Evans Kyere-Mensah, is calling on Prospective African investors in the Diaspora to consider investing in the African Agricultural sector.

He made this Clarion call at the just-concluded two-day Africa Agriculture, Trade, and Investment Summit—AATIS Ohio 2026, held in Columbus.

The summit focuses on the sector’s economic potential that is worth investing in by investors who want to do business and agriculture in Africa continent.

AATIS was established to create a platform where conversations become partnerships, partnerships become investments, and investments create measurable impact. Over the next two days, we will engage leaders from agriculture, infrastructure, finance, trade, industry, forestry, workforce development and economic development, he stated.

The theme for this year’s event was “Driving Economic Transformation Through Agriculture, Trade and Strategic Investment.”

This theme reflects a reality that is becoming increasingly clear around the world.

Advancing his case for investors who participated in the two- days trade summit said the next great frontier of global growth is not a theory nor is it a prediction; however, it is already unfolding, and a significant part of that story is taking place in Africa.

Mr. kyere-Mensah, explains that Africa possesses vast agricultural resources, abundant natural wealth, expanding consumer markets and a generation of entrepreneurs who are redefining what is possible, yet it lacks great investment, hence the need to court Africans in the diaspora to tap into the numerous opportunities within the agriculture space.

This is the fourth edition of the Africa Agriculture and Trade Investment Summit organised by Agricwealth.

So far, the summit has attracted more than 30 investors from the diaspora to invest back home in Africa.

 

By the year 2050, the world population is expected to be around 11 billion people, and we must be ready to invest in agriculture today, he added.

He further explained that the next generation of African wealth will not be created solely from what lies beneath our soil; it will be created from what we grow on it, what we manufacture from it and how effectively we bring it to market.

Key government officials attended the two-day summit.
