Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Malawi are increasingly connected not simply by geography, but by something much more commercially important: agricultural production, regional trade, logistics corridors, processing capacity and access to global markets. Together, these four countries form a powerful production belt stretching from the Indian Ocean through the Great Lakes and into Southern/Eastern Africa. The opportunity is moving from individual countries exporting individual commodities toward a regional agribusiness and export ecosystem capable of aggregating production, processing commodities, connecting farmers to international buyers and moving large volumes through the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam.
