7. Around 60% of African workers employed by Agriculture Sector About 60% of African farmers are at Subsistence level Production just adequate for domestic consumption Relatively small income for family Reinvestment in agriculture not possible No exportable surplus Small land holdings Upgradation of skills required in irrigation practices and Crop husbandry More emphasis on agricultural extension services Main Issues in Agriculture Development in Africa....to be Contd.

8. Main Issues in Agriculture Development in Africa....to be Contd. Institutional arrangements and their linkages Limited access to markets High import tariffs in developed countries High subsidies to rich farmers in developed countries African farm products need to compete in developed markets Few large farms operated by large enterprises for export Coffee Cocoa Rubber Manufacturing / assembly of tractors, harvesters, irrigation pumps etc. limited, Due to little industrial development Few - Viable fertilizer and pesticide manufacturing units in most countries
