Africa's Billion-Dollar Opportunity Hiding in Plain Sight | w/ Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor

What if I told you the next great investment isn't in Silicon Valley, but in the soil in Africa?

On this episode of the Discourse Channel's African Voices of Impact, we’re challenging conventional wisdom with a man who knows the ground truth. Dr. Peter Boamah Otokunor, Ghana's Director of Presidential Initiatives in Agric and Agribusiness. He is an economist and a farmer—a rare blend that gives him a unique perspective.

He’s here with a stark warning and an even bigger promise: Africa's agricultural sector holds a potential for "100 over 100% returns," a certainty you won’t find anywhere else.

This isn’t just a story about crops; it's a story about a broken system. Dr. Otokunor reveals the shocking truth that it's often "more easier to trade with Europe than to trade with ourselves," a consequence of bureaucratic red tape and border barriers that strangle the immense promise of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

This is a deep dive into Ghana’s bold "Agriculture for Economic Transformation" vision, a three-part master plan to build a self-sufficient powerhouse:

  • From Farm to Fork (Feeding Ghana): A mission focused on achieving food security to make Ghana entirely food secure, using everything from innovative School Farm Initiatives, to Youth Agriculture Estate, and the Dobidi Initiative (Farm and Eat).
  • Feeding Industry (Value Addition): A strategic shift from selling raw goods to creating high-value products—think cashew apples transformed into fine wine and cassava becoming industrial-grade starch.
  • Agriculture Infrastructure Development: A focused investment in infrastructure, ensuring that Ghana's agricultural sector is built for scale, sustainability, and global competition.
  • This is more than a policy discussion. It's an invitation to see a different future, where wealth is grown, not just traded. Dr. Otokunor isn't just selling a vision; he's showing us the roadmap to a fully food-secured, economically powerful nation.
