Africa Must Increase Food Production To Keep Up With Economic Growth: Report5/16/2012 5:06 PM

“A report released Tuesday by the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) argues that Africa must increase its agricultural productivity in order to keep up with promising rates of economic growth. Africa has seen economic progress in recent years, reports the World Bank. In 2011, GDP in sub-Saharan Africa expanded by an encouraging 5 percent across the region. A growth rate of 5.5 percent is expected for 2012, and exports are on the rise. Furthermore, the UNDP notes that sub-Saharan Africa has an abundance of natural agricultural resources.”
