AGRA boss explains why agriculture remains unbankable despite increased production

After two decades of efforts to turn African agriculture into a thriving, bankable business, the sector still struggles to deliver prosperity despite rising production. The Alliance for a Green Revolution in Africa’s (AGRA) 20-year review says farm output has roughly doubled since 2005 and cereal yields have increased by about 40 percent. Farmer incomes, however, remain below the global average.
