Stronger agricultural growth is needed to reduce poverty in Africa,
yet the region continues to fall behind. During the past three
decades, many traditional African export crops have lost their
competitive advantage in international markets, and many food crops
consumed in Africa have faced increased competition from imports.
In contrast to Africa's experience, during the same period farmers
in two remote and formerly unpromising agricultural regions
elsewhere in the developing world - Brazil's Cerrado and the
Northeast Region of Thailand - conquered important world markets,
defying the predictions of many skeptics. What accounted for their
success? And could the experience of these two regionscarry
important lessons for African agriculture? Awakening Africa's
Sleeping Giant: Prospects for Commercial Agriculture in the Guinea
Savannah Zone and Beyond summarizes the findings of the study on
Competitive Commercial Agriculture for Africa, a collaborative
effort led by the World Bank and the UN Food and Agriculture
Organization. The study focused on Africa's Guinea Savannah zone, a
vast and still largely unexploited area that shares many
similarities with the Brazilian Cerrado and the Northeast Region of
Thailand. Based on detailed case studies carried out on three
continents, the book concludes that opportunities abound for
Africa's farmers to compete effectively in regional and global
markets. Considerable challenges will have to be overcome, however,
and recent progress observed in a number of African countries could
easily be reversed by bad policy choices. Making African
agriculture competitive will depend on getting policies right,
strengthening institutions, and increasing and refocusing
investments in the sector.
