The COVID-19 pandemic comes as Africa still struggles to ensure its population’s food security and eradicate malnutrition, hunger, and starvation Africa significantly lags other regions in turning its agri-food trade into a catalyst for economic growth and structural transformation We argue that the COVID-19 pandemic and its ensuing economic disruptions offer opportunities that African countries could leverage by promoting a vibrant intra-African food trade and market integration In particular, commitments to harmonizing food trade rules and policies and both tariff and non-tariff barriers by coordinating policies across Africa’s Regional Economic Communities could prove to be game-changers The recently ratified African Continental Free Trade Agreement (AfCFTA) offers an excellent opportunity to enhance food market integration and boost intra-African food trade
