to African farmers. The continent has one of the lowest levels<br />
of farm productivity in the world as a result of the absence<br />
of agricultural technologies to deal with pests <strong>and</strong> diseases<br />
that face the region’s smallholder farmers, the partners say.<br />
The Foundation works in eight sub-Sahara African countries.<br />
Priority areas for the Foundation include addressing the<br />
impact of climate change in agriculture; pest management;<br />
soil management, nutrient enhancement in foods; improved<br />
breeding methods; <strong>and</strong> mechanisation. These are addressed<br />
through the access, development <strong>and</strong> deployment of accessible,<br />
transferable, adaptable <strong>and</strong> proven technologies.<br />

The CCPIA expects global requirements for glyphosate over the<br />
next five years to remain in the region of between 550,000<br />
tonnes <strong>and</strong> 650,000 tonnes. As the number of manufacturers<br />
declines, it hopes that the “blind competition” in the market<br />
that has driven prices down will also be reduced.<br />
