在二十一世纪的第一个十年，撒哈拉以南非洲地区的国家达到了仅仅十年前似乎不可能实现的里程碑：宏观经济稳定、经济持续增长和治理改善。要继续保持这种成功模式，就需要加强™S地区的农业部门，该地区有很大比例的穷人靠农业部门谋生。《非洲农业的战略和优先事项：国家研究的经济视角》一书的作者认为，尽管该地区的多样性使推广变得困难，但增加主要作物产量比增加出口作物产量更有可能减少贫困。这一结论基于对十个低收入非洲国家的案例研究，这些研究反映了不同程度的资源禀赋和发展阶段。作者还建议增加对农业和农业市场的公共投资，并为未来的研究提出新的方向。过去的十年对于世界上最贫穷的地区之一S来说是令人鼓舞的；这本书分析了如何将最近的、有希望的趋势持续到未来。
In the first decade of the twenty-first century, countries within Sub-Saharan Africa reached milestones that seemed impossible only ten years ago: macroeconomic stability, sustained economic growth, and improved governance. Continuing this pattern of success will require enhancing the region’s agricultural sector, in which a large proportion of poor people make a living. The authors of Strategies and Priorities for African Agriculture: Economywide Perspectives from Country Studies argue that, although the diversity of the region makes generalization difficult, increasing staple-crop production is more likely to reduce poverty than increasing export-crop production. This conclusion is based on case studies of ten low-income African countries that reflect varying levels of resource endowments and development stages. The authors also recommend increased, more efficient public investment in agriculture and agricultural markets and propose new directions for future research. The last ten years have been an encouraging time for one of the world’s poorest regions; this book offers an analysis of how recent, promising trends can be sustained into the future.
