Problems and Countermeasures of Agricultural and Rural Development in Africa

Abstract

The economic development in Africa is relatively slow. By promoting the development of rural areas and agriculture, it can effectively drive the local economic development speed. The development of agriculture and rural areas needs to improve efficiency by promoting industrial upgrading, so governments in Africa should promote industrial upgrading through scientific methods, use machinery production to improve the efficiency of agricultural development, and improve the quality of development in rural areas. This paper expounds on the problems and countermeasures in the development of agriculture and rural areas in Africa through qualitative analysis. First, the current situation of agricultural and rural development in Africa is analyzed through three parts: the development of African agricultural trade import and export, the development of agricultural added value in Africa, and the environmental development of rural areas in Africa. Analyze and explain. Then, the problems existing in the development of agriculture and rural areas in Africa are expounded in three parts: the relatively slow development of agricultural import and export trade volume, the relatively lagging overall economic development, and the low speed of urbanization; low, the speed of industrial transformation is not fast enough, and the government’s policies are not scientific enough. The three parts are the reasons for the problems of agricultural and rural development in Africa. Finally, it proposes targeted policy recommendations for agricultural and rural development in Africa by promoting the proportion of agricultural mechanization production, promoting the acceleration of industrial transformation, and employing think tanks to use scientific macroeconomic development policies.
