One of the major problems that affect Africa is mismanagement. Mismanagement of funds and resources result in poor results from different sectors of the economy.
When it comes to agriculture, I don't mean to brag but Africa is supposed to be the highest exporters of crops due to the versatility of crops that grow in the continent.
Yet here we are, Africa is rated the continent with the highest rate of hunger and starvation.
Most African countries don't focus on the agricultural sector, rather they put all focus on natural resources like crude oil leaving the agricultural sector in shambles.
The government of these countries usually leave the agricultural sector for individuals to handle and this results in low production of crops and when their attention is called upon, they rarely give those who are interested little or no assistance.
I'm not really knowledgeable of political affairs but if I we're a minister in my country and I were to give a solution, I'll make sure that agriculture I brought to the map. I'll request for loans to empower those who are ready to push the agricultural sector forward.
It's just sad that we have so much yet so little.
