production. This connotes that the agricultural
business is a goldmine that remains untapped. Africa
is blessed with diverse and abundant agricultural
products. You can invest in the production, processing

an enormous potential that has not been realised by
Africans. While Africa is blessed with favourable

adequately trained staff to oversee the production
process, poor aquatic health management, and
inadequate supply of aquatic feeds. If you can provide
solutions to these challenges, you make the business

You can take advantage of this opportunity by assisting
people to transport their goods from one African
country to another, while paying attention to their
needs. An example of such an establishment in Africa is
Safmarine, a shipping company with headquarters in
South Africa.
18. REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT BUSINESS: Just as food
and water are basic survival needs, so is shelter.
Despite the demand for shelter, Africa still faces severe
challenges with housing, with regular inflation in rent
and property prices. This is the perfect opportunity for
business owners to become property owners.
