Expert wants African governments to boost agriculture
An official of the
Alliance for Green Revolution (AGRA) has called on governments in
Africa to put in more efforts toward sustaining agriculture.
Akin Adeshina, vice
president, policy and partnership, AGRA, in Accra, on Wednesday, said
that there were many investment opportunities in agriculture, but these
could only be harnessed if comprehensive changes in its development
were made.
Mr. Adeshina said
every operator must realise that African agriculture could not be
sustained without “introducing technology, providing solutions to the
agricultural modernisation challenges, and seizing all emerging
opportunities.”
AGRA was
established in 2006 to achieve a smallholder-based African Green
Revolution, transform African agriculture into a highly productive and
sustainable system, and ensure food security in Africa.
