Resumen
Descripción
Using primary data from a survey of expert opinion, this paper identifies key
successes emerging in African agriculture. Among these, major commodity-specific
successes identified include breakthroughs in maize breeding across Africa, sustained
gains in cassava breeding and successful combat of its disease and pests, control of the
rinderpest livestock disease, booming horticultural and flower exports in East and
Southern Africa and increased cotton production and exports in West Africa. Using a
dynamic analytical framework, the paper attempts to identify key ingredients that appear
necessary for building on these individual cases and expanding them into broad-based
agricultural growth.
