Why is Africa's agriculture underdeveloped?

First: climatic factors.

The climate in most parts of the African continent is dry and hot, and water resources are scarce. Although the plain terrain is very suitable for farming, the climate is too bad to make a living by traditional methods.

Second: cultural factors.

Although Africa is the birthplace of mankind, its technological and social development is the most backward continent in the world. Without the introduction of advanced technology, it is impossible to develop agriculture in a arid and harsh environment.

Third: economic factors.

For centuries, the African continent has been plundered and destroyed, and poverty and hunger have become synonymous with Africa. It is precisely because of the scarcity of biological resources that years of inter-ethnic wars in Africa have been caused. As a result, it became poorer and poorer. Even if foreign aid is used to dig wells, it often becomes the battlefield of different warlords. Without a stable social environment, it is impossible to cultivate stably. What's more, a large number of working-age people have been dragged to fight as soldiers, so it is naturally impossible to develop agriculture.
