The EU's agricultural policies affect trade with Africa and its agricultural development. The study looks at how the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) impacts Africa's food security. The researchers reviewed existing studies, analyzed trade flows, consulted experts, and ran simulations. They found that EU subsidies to farmers still play a big role, but EU spending on African agriculture is low. The current CAP hinders African agriculture less than before, but changes will likely reduce European food exports to Africa. Other exporters may fill the gap. The EU should invest more in African agriculture to help development. African raw materials can enter the EU market easily, but processed products face barriers.
