Presentation of the 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor, September 10, AGRF...AKADEMIYA2063
African countries have diversified both their exports and trade partners over the last decade, African agricultural trade still suffers from structural problems as well as exogenous shocks. Against this backdrop, the 2021 Africa Agriculture Trade Monitor (AATM) analyzes continental and regional trends in African agricultural trade flows and policies. The report finds that many African countries continue to enjoy the most success in global markets with cash crops and niche products. At the intra-African level, countries are becoming more interconnected in trade of key commodities, but there remain many potential but unexploited trade relationships. The report examines the livestock sector in detail, finding that despite its important role in Africa, the sector is concentrated in low value- added products that are informally traded. The report also examines trade integration in the Arab Maghreb Union (AMU), which remains limited due to factors including tariffs, nontariff measures, poor transport infrastructure, and weak institutions. Finally, the report discusses the implications of two major events affecting African trade in 2020 and 2021: the COVID-19 pandemic and the implementation of the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA).

With a new decade just around the corner, the future has never been brighter for the agriculture industry.. The integration of the agricultural supply chain is adding value to the entire sector, and rapid development in emerging markets such as those of Latin America has had a tremendous impact on production. Demand for agricultural goods continues to rise, especially in Asian markets, and changing dynamics in developed markets like the US and the EU are reshaping the face of the industry. As we enter the 2020's, there has never been a better time to pursue opportunities in the agricultural sector.
Nonetheless, the industry also faces unprecedented challenges. The global population is rising like never before, and urbanization is rapidly changing the world's demographic landscapes, especially in emerging markets, all while the total area of farmland is diminishing. These factors have put tremendous pressure on agricultural sector to lead the effort to advance global food security through new technology, optimized farm practices, and strategic investment.
In Farmfolio's Ag Investor Guide, you will learn about the trends that are shaping the future of the industry, along with the regions, commodities, and technologies that are drawing the attention of investors. The guide offers a wealth of information about the agricultural sector that will leave investors well-equipped to enter the new decade.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

• LATAM is the second highest per capita consumer of alcohol worldwide
• Huge surge in demand for alcoholic drink products.
• Unregulated marketing, policies and low taxes are contributing to the growth of
alcohol consumption
• Packaging has played an important role, with a wide range of offerings by alcoholic
drink manufacturers contributing to the market growth.
• Even though, glass is the major material used for packaging, plastic packaging for
alcoholic beverages is also available in some of the developing countries. Apart from
these, metal cans and PET bottles are also being used for alcoholic drinks packaging.
46. Building materials
• Fast-growing populations and middle class
• Rapid urbanization process
• Increasing demand for commercial, retail, and industrial properties has
greatly boosted building construction and related product sales.
• Government investment in public infrastructure has stimulated
construction spending and generated a considerable product demand.
• Small construction sectors and underdeveloped public infrastructures.
Overview
49. Building materials
The outlook for the construction, homebuilding and building materials
sector in Latin America will be stable for the region as a whole in 2017
• Improvements in Mexico's homebuilding industry offset ongoing weakness in
Brazilian construction
• Revenues for Mexican homebuilders will grow between 5% and 15% next year,
largest growth will happen in the low-income housing market.
• The sector faces a more challenging outlook in Brazil, where the homebuilding
contraction began in 2012 and the recession worsened it in 2015.
Inventories remain high and while a gradual, partial recovery is likely next year,
a complete turnaround won't come until mid-2018
Homebuilding
50. Building materials
• Latin America currently spends approximately 1.7% of gross domestic
product (GDP) on infrastructure development. This is less than any
other region of the world except Africa.
• It is estimated that the regional infrastructure market will grow to $114
billion by 2018.

Infrastructure
53. Building materials
• Strong national industry: Until 2007, the Brazilian trade balance surplus – exports less
imports – of the construction sector was more then 1 billion BRL.
• Domestic industry is not competitive: since 2008, the expansion of the civil construction
and the appreciation of the real the import/export situation in the country has been
changing with imports surpassing exports by 1.1 billion BRL.
• Products with high added value, such as ceramics, fittings and metals, which have high
prices in Brazil have preference for importers.
• Cranes, freight elevators, racks and machines for construction of foundations, because of
the shortage of domestic supply, can be added to the list of the most sought-after items
to be imported to Brazil.
• Currently, Brazil's biggest partners in the marketing of construction materials are China
and Turkey focusing on steel pipes and finishing products. While Poland is very
competitive in glass.
Brazil
54. Building materials
• The National Association of Construction Materials
Retailers (ANAMACO) estimated an overall growth of 6% in
2016, after a 5.8% dip in 2015.
• Its monthly survey of sales found that, while the South and
South-East had contracted slightly in February, there was
growth of 18% and 10% in the Centre-West and the North.
Brazil
55. Building materials
• According to a 2015 study by the São Paulo Federation of
Industries (FIESP), and the Brazilian Equipment and Maintenance
Technology Association (Sobratema), the infrastructure and
construction industries are expected to receive about US$1
trillion in investment through 2022.
• As a result, annual average investment should be approximately
US$125 million, equivalent to 9.8% of GDP.
Brazil
56. Building materials
• Brazilian families will be expanding at an average annual rate of 2%
over the next 23 years
• The country will need 11.5 million new homes over the next seven
years, which means its needs to build around 1.4 million homes per
year.
• Construction company turnover, for example, will jump from R$ 53.5
billion in 2007 to R$ 129.6 billion in 2030
Brazil
57. Building materials
• The Brazilian Federal Government is also providing tax incentives
that will create opportunities for refurbishing, building, acquiring
or operating hotels, as travel and tourism continues to grow.
• As a result, new hotel construction is underway in several cities,
and several current hotels are being refurbished and upgraded.
Brazil
58. Building materials
• Spending for public works projects, including BUS Rapid Transport (BRT) and
Vehicle on Light Tracks (VLT) systems, dedicated bus lanes, subway and
commuter trains, and the implementation of integrated monitoring systems,
projects to be around US$2.7 billion each year.
• In transportation and logistics, forecasts are for a total investment of US$95
billion, which includes 1,167 current projects country-wide, of which 99%
should be completed by 2023.
Brazil
61. Building materials
• Mexican construction industry grew only 2.8 % in 2015 instead of the 6.5%
initially forecasted
• Building and construction sector in Mexico is reliant on federal government
programs.
• In 2014, the 2014-2018 National Infrastructure Program (NIP) was launched,
with $586 billion investment
Mexico
62. Building materials
• The total value of federal government construction projects during 2015 was
estimated at $107 billion:
40 % was allocated to PEMEX (government-owned oil company)
22 % to highway construction
22 % to housing developments and multi-purpose buildings
16 % to other infrastructure projects.
• The Mexican states that received the most funds were State of Mexico, 10 %;
Mexico City, 9 %; Veracruz, 9 %; Chiapas, 7 %; and Queretaro, 7 %.
Mexico
63. Building materials
• The new housing initiatives announced in the NIP are intended:
to address a shortfall of an estimated 8 million housing units
to promote growth in the housing industry in the short and medium-
term;
and to increase vertical housing developments in major cities across the
country.
• These initiatives will offer opportunities to developers and suppliers focused
on the low-income market
• Based on these initiatives, industry sources estimate that the housing
market will increase 5% percent from 2016 to 2018.
Mexico
64. Building materials
• Mexico is moving towards green, or environmentally-friendly, activities.
• Mexico joined the World Green Building Council (WGBC) and is learning best
practices from Europe and the US
• Policy efforts to promote green buildings are relatively new and generally focused on
the housing sector.
• Although green construction growth in Mexico continues on a positive trend, the
numbers for sustainable construction remain small. According to the Mexican Green
Building Council, Mexico has over 44 buildings with LEED certification. During 2014
and 2015, over 250 construction projects with an estimated investment of $37.5
million subscribed to the certification process.
• Projects include tourism real estate development, marine projects, thematic and
recreational parks, residential, industrial and commercial.
Green building
65. Building materials
• Demand for cement, steel bars and glass is growing faster than local
suppliers’ abilities to provide them
• There is also a high demand for plywood, another important raw
material for the construction industry.
o Potential niche markets exist in the furniture manufacturing sector
and the interior decoration sector, particularly in flooring, paneling
and molding.
Mexico
66. Building materials
• Opportunities include: wooden windows, doors, flooring, and frames
from sustainable woods; ecological paints, coverings and coatings; ecological
concrete pipes for potable water and sewage; energy saving light bulbs;
ecological pipes and fixtures for electrical applications; skylights; green-
certified electrical devices and home appliances; permeable concrete; green
roof systems and equipment; high-efficiency air conditioning systems and
equipment; high-efficiency HVAC equipment for commercial buildings and
hospitals; natural insulation materials; ecological blocks and bricks; and
insulation, acoustics, and fire retardant thermal protection materials.
Mexico
67. Building materials
• For EU firms interested in entering Mexico’s housing industry, one of the best options is to
partner with a Mexican distributor or housing developer or construction firm that is active in
the housing industry.
• Mexican companies’ knowledge of the market, the labor and legal aspects involved in this
industry is invaluable to EU firms.
In addition, it is important that manufacturers register as building materials suppliers with
INFONAVIT, FOVISSSTE, FONHAPO, PEMEX, CEF, and State housing institutes.
Mexico
69. Communication and business culture
Overview
• 19 countries
• 626 million people
• Languages:
Spanish is spoken as first language by about 60% of
the population
Portuguese is spoken by about 34% of the population
About 6% of the population speak other languages
• Religion: Christians (90%), Catholics about 70%
70. Communication and business culture
Ethnic diversity
One of the most diverse regions in the world.
The specific composition varies from country to country:
People with European ancestry are the largest single group, and along with
people of part-European ancestry, they combine to make up approximately
80% of the population.
Most of the earliest settlers were Spanish and Portuguese
After independence, the most numerous immigrants have been Spanish and
Italians, followed by Germans, Levantine Arabs, Poles, Irish, British, French,
Russians, Belgians, Dutch, Scandinavians, Ukrainians, Hungarians, Croats,
Swiss, Greeks, and other Europeans
71. Communication and business culture
Context- vs. Content-Focus
In many EU business settings there is a strong emphasis on the content of
communications: the data, facts and specific details.
• Both verbal and written communications tend to be brief and to-the-point.
In Latin America generally there is a broader focus that includes contextual
factors such as relationship, circumstances, timing, and social
appropriateness.
• Consequently, the Latino may seem ambiguous or evasive to the some EU
counterparts.
• At the same time, however, some EU cultures may be perceived as
impersonal and overly direct or blunt to a Latino person
72. Communication and business culture
“Molecular” vs “Atomic” social structure
• LATAM countries are usually rated low on the individualism scale.
• The use of networks and connections, the exchange of information and
favors, reflect the “molecular” structure of LATAM societies.
• This requires that one be more indirect, diplomatic, non-confrontational, and
cautious in communicating with others because there is a positive or
negative multiplier effect in every social or business transaction.
• The EU counterpart may feel that the Latin American is being excessively
diplomatic or “flowery,” which may be associated with insincerity.
• In contrast, the EU person’s individualism may be perceived as being selfish
or egotistical
73. Communication and business culture
Transaction oriented vs. Relationship building
• In many EU cultures, people who work together may develop personal
relationships over time but the task comes first.
• Latin Americans tend to feel that it is essential to invest in establishing a
relationship before focusing on the task:
A warm-up period is typically required to create a good interpersonal
environment in which the task can be accomplished most effectively.
An important clue in this regard is the high desirability of being considered
simpático or likeable and accessible.
74. Communication and business culture
“Time is money”...vs “Time is precious”
The pace of life and work varies within Latin America. However, it is generally less
intense than in the EU:
• Building and maintaining relationships, attending to one’s “molecular” networks,
and managing the complex contextual dimensions of business simply takes more
time.
Time is a guideline, but rarely a deadline
The EU businessperson may appear hasty, rushed, and pushy, while the Latin
American may seem to lack a sufficient sense of urgency.
75. Communication and business culture
Personal space
• The accepted amount of personal space that each person has or needs is much
smaller in Latin America than in Europe.
• People will touch you more, stand closer when they talk to you and generally get
up close and personal
• Latinos will usually stand closer together during conversations, so be prepared
for that plus casual touching
• You may even be startled to have a Latin businessman hold your elbow while
conversing, or walk down the street arm-in-arm
76. Communication and business culture
Negotiations according to polychronic cultures
Negotiations do not follow a linear logic
Negotiations stages are not neatly sequential:
a new stage may begin while the earlier stage is still being
discussed, and
issues already agreed are open for subsequent discussion
77. Communication and business culture
Negotiations according to polychronic cultures
Negotiators from polychronic cultures
tend to start and end meetings at flexible times
take breaks when it seems appropriate
be comfortable with a high flow of information
expect to read each others' thoughts and minds
sometimes overlap talk
view start times as flexible and not take lateness personally.
78. Communication and business culture
Business conversations
• Good conversation topics include sports, art, history, and family.
• Avoid topics like politics, poverty, religion, or neighboring countries.
79. Communication and business culture
Eating
• Business lunches are common throughout Latin America, and
they’re usually long.
• Dinner is a purely social event and can occur very late.
80. Communication and business culture
Become the friend of your business partner
• Latinos are very warm and friendly people and enjoy social conversation
before getting down to business.
• This is a calculated process aimed at getting to know you personally.
• Latinos tend to be more interested in you, the person, than you as a
representative of some faceless corporation.
