Agriculture continues to play a critical role in most African economies today. Over 60% of Africans are engaged in smallholder agriculture as their primary means of income and consumption in rural areas. Additionally, export of primary commodities to Europe, Japan, and the US account for a major share of foreign exchange earnings throughout the continent, ranging from 25-100% dependency on agricultural trade. Informal regional trade also represents an important factor in African agricultural economies and a source of revenue for smallholder and commercial farmers.
