  • In 2022, the area of organic agricultural land in the African region amounted to over 1.2 million hectares, representing 9.0% of the global organic agricultural area. In Africa, the total organic land is divided into three crop types, namely, row crops (cereals, oilseeds, pulses), horticultural crops (fruits and vegetables), and cash crops (sugarcane, coffee, tea, tobacco, cotton, and cocoa, among others).
  • In 2020, Africa reported 149,000 hectares more in organic cultivation land than in 2019, recording a 7.7% increase Y-o-Y in line with the presence of nearly 834,000 producers. Tunisia had the largest amount of organic land (more than 290,000 hectares in 2020), whereas Ethiopia had the highest number of organic producers (almost 220,000). The island states of São Tomé and Príncipe have the most significant amount of land committed to organic farming in the region, with 20.7% of their agricultural area dedicated to organic crops.
  • In the African region, cash crops account for a significant share of organic agricultural land, amounting to 63.2% of the total organic acreage with 817.4 thousand hectares. Row crops hold the second-largest share of organic acreage in Africa, which amounts to about 25.6% of the total organic acreage, totaling 331.2 thousand hectares. Horticultural crops account for 11.2% of the total organic acreage in Africa, with 144.9 thousand hectares in 2022.

In 2022, the Rest of Africa accounted for 95.0% of the total organic agricultural acreage in Africa, with 1.2 million hectares, Egypt accounted for a 3.5% share with 45.1 thousand hectares, and South Africa accounted for a 1.0% share with 12.6 thousand hectares.

Per capita spending on organic product predominant in Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria countries

  • Africa's per capita income has consistently increased throughout the years, encouraging people to spend more money on nutritious food. Organic foods and beverages are gaining more shelf space in the African region. Since the domestic consumption of certified organic produce is relatively small, most organic goods are produced for export.
  • In Africa, consumption of organic products has increased significantly, especially in Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria. In 2021, the per capita consumption of organic products was USD 55.5 in Egypt, followed by South Africa with USD 7.1. The countries with the highest number of organic producers were Ethiopia (almost 222,000), Tanzania (nearly 149,000), and Uganda (over 139,000).
  • In the African region, commonly consumed organic products include fresh vegetables and fruits. In Africa, significant efforts have been made to mainstream organic agriculture into policy, national extension systems, marketing, and value chain development. All these factors have gained the attention of consumers.
  • With the increasing per capita consumption of beverages, primarily fruit juices, growing health awareness, and consumers shifting toward organic drinks and food that do not contain chemical ingredients, the demand for the African organic food market is expected to grow during the forecast period.
  • However, low-income levels and a lack of organic standards and other infrastructure for local market certification are the major restraining factors for the growth of the organic market in the region.
