African infrastructure development
The African Development Bank (AfDB) is looking to create a large fund to finance infrastructure in Africa, Reuters reported recently (29 May 2013). The bank estimates that Africa requires investment of $100-billion every year for a decade. Infrastructure allows for economic activity and trade among countries, and the lack of sufficient infrastructure is often cited as an obstacle for intra-African trade.
It is a vital issue within individual countries too. When food prices are high and employment levels are low, it is time to do something about infrastructure. Infrastructure and agrologistics is a chapter under the National issues section of The Agri Handbook for South Africa.
