30
%
Food Produced In World
OIC Countries produce 30% food in the world, however, we still are heavily dependent on the food imports.
19
%
Labor Productivity
The way OIC countries use their agriculture inputs is still inefficient. Land and labour productivity are respectively 14% and 19% lower than the developing countries average.
74
DAYS
Food Supply Shortfall
OIC countries can only meet their food needs for 74 days, highlighting a significant gap between agricultural potential and food sufficiency.
The Big Picture In Numbers
Key Trends in Capacity Building
Our analysis within OIC countries reveals a complex mismanagement of challenges and opportunities. The intersection of food security, wastage, production efficiency, and economic empowerment forms the backdrop against which the Capacity Building approach emerges as a strategic imperative. By addressing these contextual nuances, OIC countries can embark on a trajectory of self-sufficiency, sustainable growth, and enhanced resilience in the face of global food security challenges.
Our analysis highlights the intricate relationship between food security, wastage, production efficiency, and economic empowerment in OIC countries.
Complex Challenges
The analysis highlights the potential for intra-OIC trade and cooperation due to the collective agricultural resources within OIC countries.
Despite being top agricultural producers, OIC countries heavily rely on food imports, making them vulnerable to supply disruptions and price fluctuations.

Potential for Intra-trade
Strengthening Agricultural Capacity in OIC Countries
This strategic pillar focuses on strengthening agricultural capacity through a comprehensive framework that encompasses Distribution Hubs, Special Agri Zones (SAZs), Cooperative Stores, and Farmers Markets, with a primary focus on liberating farmers from the clutches of crony capitalism perpetuated by middlemen, facilitating access to global markets to farmers to sell their finished goods and increasing purchasing produce from meager rates to full dollar value
Distribution Hubs
These hubs aim to increase food distribution efficiency and reduce waste, addressing food security challenges by creating localized storage facilities and fostering intra-OIC trade.
01
Special Agri-Zones (SAZ)
SAZs are geographically specific areas optimized for food security, attracting investment and shielding from political disruptions to boost agricultural productivity and self-sustainability.
02
Cooperative Stores
These stores unite growers, optimize marketing channels, enhance competitiveness, and foster intra-OIC trade.
03
Farmers Markets
Direct channels between farmers and consumers eliminate middlemen, ensuring fairer profits for farmers, strengthening local economies, and reducing waste.

Capacity Building
A New Era: Agri-Public Private Partnerships (Ag-PPP)
A new paradigm is to use Agricultural Public Private Partnership (Ag-PPP) to achieve wider and sustainable impacts, The main goal of PPPs is to leverage the strengths and resources of each partner to achieve sustainable and inclusive Agri growth.
PPPs can help to mitigate risk in agriculture by leveraging the strengths and resources of different partners and stakeholders.
