Agriculture and Transport in Rwanda: The Next Big Investment Opportunities?

  A personal reflection, tested against the data By Marc Reflects In brief Agriculture and transport deserve attention, but the available data does not establish them as Rwanda’s most promising investment sectors. In fiscal year 2025/26, agriculture grew by 7% and transport activities by 10%. Industry grew by 16%. In 2025, registered investment was led by real estate, manufacturing and mining. Agriculture faces challenges ranging from fluctuating production to post-harvest losses and rising input costs. Some opportunities may lie where agriculture and transport meet, particularly in storage, collection and delivery. This is a possibility worth investigating, not a guaranteed business opportunity.  Agriculture and Transport in Rwanda 1.

Hara Hachi Bu: What Ikigai Teaches About Eating Until You’re 80% Full

  A summary of Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc Miralles, translated by Heather Cleary (Penguin Books, 2017). By Marc Reflects Why do some communities have so many people who reach the age of 100 while remaining active and engaged in life? In Ikigai , Héctor García and Francesc Miralles explore this question through research, interviews, and observations, including their visit to Ogimi, a village in northern Okinawa known for its long-lived residents.
