Tweneboah Senzu added: 'My research team and I believe there are better alternative models of agricultural marketing that could be more effective than the old ones in place. However, we are still undertaking such a project and great ideas are all welcome to grow our industry to become a better place in Africa. We fully welcome your support in the form of ideas and/or funding for acknowledgment in our publication and launching programs. All active participants and interested partners will always be given a quarterly update of our work, until we conclude the project from the center for international publishing. We envision a solution that will be realistic and ideal for the African market.'

Tweneboah Senzu added:

  1. 'Tool 1: Identifying produce easily cultivated by our farmers and develop it market for the local consumers. Focus on local consumption rather than export market we have no control over competition.
  2. Tool 2 : If a whole nation embraced to support Agro project which is the major problem in Africa, then the country need to identify it strength on agricultural produce which it production can give such a nation a comparative advantage in both Traditional and non-traditional Agro produce for export in the global market.
  3. Tool 3 : Government leaders of Africa need to initiate and implement policies that place priority in the investment of Agro production and marketing, promote venture capitalist in Agro related areas, furthermore make easier trade arrangement within member countries of African continent while production on various countries are based on economic advantage.'
