Botswana is pivoting toward agriculture as a central pillar of economic diversification. Speaking at the Botswana Agriculture Business & Investment Forum 2026 in Tlokweng, Vice President and Finance Minister Ndaba Gaolathe outlined plans to grow agriculture’s contribution to GDP from 2% to 6%. The forum, held at the Royal Aria Convention Centre and organised in partnership with the Food and Agriculture Organization, signaled a strategic shift toward: • Export-oriented agriculture • Agro-processing and value chains • Food sovereignty and rural industrialisation • Youth employment and investment mobilisation • Climate-smart farming and sustainability Leaders from Business Botswana and the Botswana Investment and Trade Centre emphasized investor confidence, streamlined approvals, and market access reforms as critical to execution.
