Abstract/Description
Agriculture in sub-Saharan Africa continues to underperform despite its vast potential, as production struggles to keep up with population growth, primarily driven by unsustainable land expansion rather than productivity gains. For example, in Kenya, maize yields have stagnated at around 1.5 metric tons (MT) per hectare since the 1990s, compared with 3.6 MT in India and 6.4 MT in China in 2022.
