Highlights include:
Jai Shroff , Global CEO of UPL Ltd., said: "UPL is one of the most established agricultural businesses investing in Africa , and I am very proud that we are the first global business to detail our sustainability commitment across the continent in this way. Our activities across Africa exemplify our global commitment to farmers and food systems, and the importance of reimagining sustainability as a catalyst for positive change."
Marcel Dreyer , Regional Head of Africa & Middle East , said: "Agriculture is vital to Africa's economies and responsible for 60% of employment across the continent. Yet, the sector faces a range of challenges and the continent remains a net importer of many staple foods. We are working with farmers to face these challenges and transform Africa's food systems into efficient, resilient, and sustainable systems that deliver shared benefits for growers, their communities and our environment."
