All the Western countries have those types of know-how. Israel lacks that type of labor force, so they outsource cheap workers from Africa to run their farms.

I bet the 49% "Israeli" farmers are mainly Arabs (Palestinian and Druze that are Israeli nationals), Mizrahi, and Ethiopian Jews, with Ashkenazi making up a fraction of it unless they own the farms other people tilt on like some feudal peasant economic division.

If they were merely there to grab knowledge to take back with them, we'd observe those Kenyans get enrolled in agriculture universities for specialized courses.

Acquisition of broad knowledge is focal, which on an administrative level starts with education, not practical fieldwork. Otherwise, all you will have is pragmatic individual wins and no major effect on the agricultural yield efficiency on a macro country basis.

Africa has the cheapest agricultural labor, managing this workforce this how Africa can have a bright future and build a solid foundation of stability and tax revenues for state building

They bring many people from the global south to do a lot of the manual labor on those farms. When the attack happened on Oct 7, they mentioned that there were many hostages from Asia and Africa who came to work on these farms. A Tanzanian hostage died not too long ago and I think he came for that reason as well.
