Josefa Sacko

As African Union Commissioner for Agriculture, Rural Development, Blue Economy and Sustainable Environment, Josefa Sacko opened the Africa Fertilizer and Soil Health Summit in Nairobi on 7 May 2024. She told delegates that since the 2006 Abuja Declaration fertiliser use in Africa had risen only from about 8 kg to under 25 kg per hectare, far short of the 50 kg target. The summit was set to produce a Nairobi Declaration and a ten-year action plan.
