The whole Africa has the highest potential ever when it comes to produce agricultural goods for the continent and for the whole world. But because we have bad leaders, we are not taking advantage of our different resources (workforce, financial resources, spaces/lands…)

@mede6195

All Africans should follow after Burkina Faso lead

I understand Saudi has bought 500K acres in Tanzania. They have bought even more in Ethiopia,Sudan. The gulf countries are buying up Africa, I wonder how it will end.

Tanzania has been able to feed itself and produce excess food for export through the small scale farmers. Theory that small scale farmers can never feed a nation is being proved wrong. Even in the sisal production Mo works in collaboration with small scale farmers. We promote sharing in Tanzania and he knows that. Tanzania is feeding itself, and even cash crops are grown in collaboration with large scale farmers. One person holding thousand acres of land while others are landless is unacceptable here. A large scale investor in farming needs to provide expertise, processing and marketing and model farms, the rest is done by outgrowers.

I'm tired of non-African/ European people talking about raping Africa of the natural resources, which is the only thing that Europeans, Indians, Americans, and others only care about regarding Africa.

@omarimkombole5163

Wazo zuri sana. It's prime time to convert some of the widespread national parks into agricultural land. The same was done at the Canadian Prairies, American dust bowl etc. Mr Dewji fanyia kazi wazo hili!
