China pours money into Africa to further diversify from American farms

by Inside China Business [11-23-2025].

China is aggressively sourcing new supply chains for food, to diversify away from North America, Europe, and Australia.

This is a boon to farmers in Vietnam, and now in Africa as food exports to China are rocketing higher, across even niche agricultural markets.

In another blow to American soybean farmers, China is investing hundreds of millions of dollars to develop soy farms in Angola. Combined with other crops, new Angolan food exports to China will soar to over 500,000 tons per year.

China is also snapping up supply chains for nuts in Africa, using the same methods that have given them virtual monopolies in other foods products, such as chocolate. By dealing directly with African farmers, and paying above-market rates to spur new production, China locks in all the new supply, and cuts out middlemen on Wall Street and in London.
