      <video:title><![CDATA[Unstructured supplementary service data: Bridging Africa's $65bn smallholder finance gap]]></video:title>
      <video:description><![CDATA[Across Africa, small-holder agriculture contributes up to 40 per cent of GDP and underpins national food security — yet farmers face an estimated $65 billion financing gap. For decades, traditional financial institutions have viewed smallholders as high-risk and 'unbankable', largely due to a lack of formal production records and growing climate volatility. Joining CNBC Africa to unpack how AI and cloud infrastructure are transforming agricultural finance and food security across the continent is Watson Vuyo Matsa, Chief Executive Officer & Co-Founder of eSusFarm Africa. ]]></video:description>

      <video:description><![CDATA[Investors in Lagos real estate remain optimistic as opportunities expand across land reclamation, estate development, and building-materials merchandising.
