Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>The African Development Bank (AfDB) plans to raise $1bn (\u00a3759m) in a week\u2019s time to support agricultural production in Africa and shield the continent from potential food shortages arising from the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The UN says at least 15 African countries get more than half their wheat from the two warring nations. Somalia, Benin, Egypt and Sudan are the most dependent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe AfDB sees these increases in prices of wheat, maize and soya beans as potentially going to worsen food insecurity and raise inflation,\u201d Akinwumi Adesina, the bank\u2019s president, said.<\/p>\n

The bank intends to organise a meeting of African finance and agriculture ministers to roll out that plan.<\/p>\n

Through the fund, AfDB wants to increase production of wheat rice, maize and soya beans using climate-resilient technologies, including heat-tolerant and drought-tolerant crop varieties. The heat-tolerant wheat variety has already been trialled in Sudan and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n
