2122: AFEX and the Technology Transforming Lives in Africa - a podcast by Neil C. Hughes

AFEX is building the physical and technology-enabled infrastructure for the continent’s commodity sector to provide access to markets and unlock capital for smallholder farmers, processors, and export operations.

Its technology-enabled solutions provide traceability and transparency that ensures shared prosperity between soft commodity producers, processors, and investors.

Akintunde Akinyink shares how AFEX is aiming to help the continent feed itself by boosting food security and making food production more efficient, closely aligning its company goals with the UN SDGs, in particular no poverty, ending hunger, gender equality, decent work, and economic growth, and responsible consumption

I learn more about how AFEX has created the largest network of warehouses in Nigeria and Kenya with 130 warehouses, securitizing physical commodities through its electronic warehouse receipts, which can be traded on the exchange through its proprietary electronic trading platform.
