The Africa Peas Market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.8% during the forecast period (2020-2025). An increase in population growth at an exponential rate coupled with rising concerns for food security to meet this demand and growing interest for sustainable protein sources such as plant-based pea proteins are some of the factors driving the market for peas in the region.
The lack of awareness, except in a few African countries among the consumers about the benefits of consuming plant-based proteins over meat and other dairy-based sources are some of the factors restraining the market growth. However, efforts from regional authorities promoting its people over its usage is expected to drive the market growth during the forecast period.
