Organic Agriculture in Africa: Statistical Yearbook 2023

Data on organic agriculture in Africa showing the sector’s relevance are scarce, even though much needed. Data are essential for policymakers and donors to monitor and evaluate policy measures on organic production. Furthermore, they are necessary by market actors and sector representatives for informed decision-making.

To make existing data on organic farming in Africa better accessible for African actors and stakeholders, FiBL, based on its annual data collection on organic agriculture worldwide, provides several tools showing the current status of organic agriculture in Africa as a whole, its five regions and countries.

The statistical yearbook provides short explanatory texts, tables and dashboards on key indicators (organic agricultural land, organic share of total agricultural land, number of producers, total exports) and key crops and commodities (agricultural land area and exports) for Africa as a whole and its regions. 

For each country, tables and graphs with the key data are available.

Furthermore, interactive infographics and tables (key indicators, crops and exports) are available online at https://statistics.fibl.org.

The data shown in this yearbook are based on FIBL's annual survey on organic agriculture worldwide, which has been carried out since 2000 with the support of the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs SECO, IFOAM – Organics International, the Coop Sustainability Fund and NürnbergMesse. GIZ supports the present Africa-specific compilation in the Knowledge Centres for Organic Africa KCOA project framework.
