Sumario:Increasing agricultural productivity in Africa calls for broader policy and strategic frameworks that encompass agro-industrial and agribusiness services along with farming.

This perspective will result in innovations that reduce poverty through broad-based economic growth, which includes enhanced food security, employment creation, and added value and wealth across the economy’s farming and nonfarming sectors.
