Finding success as a young agripreneur

Africa has the world’s youngest population, with more than 60 percent of Africa’s estimated 1.2 billion people under the age of 25, a percentage that is rapidly growing. Yet youth also account for the majority of unemployed people in Africa. About 60 percent of those without work are between the ages of 15 and 24 (AfDB, 2011). Youth unemployment therefore represents a major political and socio-economic challenge in Africa. Tens of millions of jobs will need to be created each year to support the youth bulge.
