The agricultural sector accounts for one-third of Africa’s GDP and two-thirds of African citizens depend on agriculture for their livelihood. The sector is believed to have the capacity to reduce poverty on the continent as well as promote social growth. Investing in agriculture does not only increases the potential of the continent to feed its ever-growing population but also lift them out of poverty. According to the study “Levelling the Field” by World Bank and One Campaign, the growth in this sector is 2 to 4 times effective in eradicating poverty than the growth in other sectors.
