Tonne/ha (2014)
Source:
PSD (USDA)

Reasons for the Low Productivity


Overall constraints
War; corruption; governance; education; lack of country economies of scale
Low inter-regional trade
Highest Tariffs
Agricultural constraints
Infrastructure; land rights
African crop diversity/uniqueness
Lack of extension/various farming systems
Lack of storage
Input market constraints
Seed laws/industry
Local fertilizer industry
Distribution system
Credit availability
Source:
J L Shoham
Rapid urbanization growth (lack of access to land, degradation of natural resources)
Poor access to markets (lack of access to resources/inputs)
Low investment in agricultural research, training and extension services
WEAK PRIVATE SECTOR

However we are now in a period of renewing optimism….

  • Uganda: Growing apples, displacing imports
  • Zambia: Increase of cotton production
  • Kenya: Flower exports surpassed coffee exports
  • Ethiopia: Beans and coffee from local cooperatives responding well to international markets
  • DRC: Post-conflict areas relying on cavies for nutrition and growth

..And it is possible for Africa to feed itself and generate income..
