BookSeries: World Bank Staff Working Papers: No. 608. Publisher: Washington : World Bank, 1983Subject(s): Agricultural Development | Sub-Saharan Africa -- Agricultural production. -- Sub-Saharan Africa -- Agricultural productionSummary: The rate of growth of agricultural production in Sub-Saharan African countries has been sluggish during the past two decades. The result has been that export growth has been unsatisfactory, food has emerged as a difficult problem and in many countries, food imports have become burdensome and/or the country has become dependent on food aid. Part I presents a general synthesis of Sub-Saharan agriculture; Part II summerizes the overall price, trade and consumption outlook for major agricultural commodities exported by Sub-Saharan countries; and Part III presents brief notes on the outlook after individual commodities.
