Future Farming Initiative: A strategic market analysis of North African countries

Abstract

The central purpose of this Master thesis is to examine the potential for exporting “the Future Farming Initiative” to four North African countries, which are Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Egypt. To complete this, we will carry out an extensive and in-depth data collection analysis, in order to build country profiles for all the targets. These country profiles include five (05) key indicators: Economic Indicators, political, technological and innovation, financial Landscapes and investment trends. Assessing these indicators will help us have a holistic view of the current environment and potential challenges each country is facing in adopting advanced technological farming practices. Next, the thesis evaluates the attractiveness of each country. This assessment requires a comparative review of the collected data to point out the countries with the most suitable context for implementation. The criteria for evaluation involve the political stability and regulatory environment, the availability of investment opportunities, the existing technological infrastructure, and socio-economic and environmental preparation. Eventually, we will conclude with detailed implementation plans for the selected countries. This plan counters strategic steps for introducing and integrating the Future Farming Initiative, addressing specific challenges, and leveraging opportunities distinctive to each country. The findings of this research provide an extensive understanding of how Future Farming practices can be shaped to divers socio-political and economic contexts, proposing a strategic foundation for exporting advanced farming initiatives to new regions.
