Abstract: Europe and the Arabia Peninsula or for the small supermarket segment in the regional big cities has been supported with ample donor funding. However, exports represent only a very small part of the total vegetable production.

In this article, we want to sketch the scope of vegetable production for the domestic African markets and its importance for improvement of nutrition and health of the millions of consumers.
