In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, agricultural growth in the region was slow compared to the rates achieved in the past thirty years. Agricultural development in the recent past has been characterized by an extraordinary diversity both within and between countries. Many largely traditional farming systems that were sustainable with a low density of population are becoming increasingly strained by, and vulnerable to, the pressure of rising population. Spectacular environmental damage exemplifies the consequences of this pressure as land-hungry cultivators push into the tropical forests and up the hillsides. A growing prosperity among some groups contrasts with the deepening poverty among others less fortunate.

I was able to find a map of countrys by how much they produce, but not by what they produce.  Sorry it isn't what you wanted, but maybe it will help anyhow.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_agricultural_output

Which country are you in?  If you are in America, We have good Nigerian citizens who are highly qualified.  I am sure they can be found handy.  They are in Alaska, New York and Denva.  Try them.

It is possible but it would depend on their government and the people themselves to recognize what it is that would make their country develop. They have to recognize what their competitive advantage is and be open to change. I have a friend who works in a development project in Ethiopia to establish schools and Universities as well as introduce alternative crops that are more drought-resistant.\n\nOverall it won't be the external aid from other countries that would bring them out of their present state. Their government and the people have to make the effort to make their country better. Besides no one can tell them what they need. They have to figure that out themselves.

The biggest problem of private and public investment in Nigeria is the poor grammar used in the emails trying to scam very ignorant people on the Internet.\n\nFortunately for the Nigerian spammers, there's now a resource available to help you "write better emails, make more moneys."  See the link below.\n\nSee the link below.

Agricultural policy decision making in economies undergoing transition to market is in need of empirical tools for assessing the impact of alternative policy options. The econometric means available for such exercise, however, are limited for lack of data and structural breaks in economic behaviour. Synthetic, partial equilibrium, multi-market models offer a potential alternative. Such models have been used extensively, even in advanced economies, to offer valuable insights on the impact of alternative policy options. This paper shows the use of such a partial equilibrium, multi-market, synthetic-type model as a tool for agricultural policy analysis in a country in transition. The model is applied for Albania, a predominantly agricultural country that, after a period of centralism and autarky, aims to re-join the international economic system. The model, albeit its many limitations, offers some useful insights on the impact of alternative options available for agricultural price and trade policy.\n\nalso u might wanna check out this site for further info:\nhttp://ideas.repec.org/a/kap/ecopln/v32y1999i2p103-27.html

Population increases put pressure on agriculture\n\nBantu expansion\n \nOne common hypothesis of the Bantu expansionToday the accepted truth is a synthesis of the above named theories. The Bantu first originated around the Benue-Cross rivers area in southeastern Nigeria and spread over Africa to the Zambia area. Sometime in the second millennium BC, perhaps triggered by the drying of the Sahara and pressure from the migration of people from the Sahara into the region, they were forced to expand into the rainforests of central Africa (phase I). About 1000 years later they began a more rapid second phase of expansion beyond the forests into southern and eastern Africa. Then sometime in the first millennium new agricultural techniques and plants were developed in Zambia, likely imported from South East Asia via Malay speaking Madagascar. With these techniques another Bantu expansion occurred centered on this new location (phase III).\n\nBy about 1,000 AD it had reached modern day Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Zimbabwe the first major southern hemisphere empire was established, with its capital at Great Zimbabwe. It controlled trading routes from South Africa to north of the Zambezi, trading gold, copper, precious stones, animal hides, ivory and metal goods with the Arab traders of the Swahili coast. By the 14th or 15th centuries the Empire had surpassed its resources and had collapsed, with the city of Great Zimbabwe being abandoned.

1. eliminate corruption and dictatorship;\n\n2. expand and support the native system of concentrating wealth for starting small businesses;\n\n3. move away from agriculture that competes with the agribusinesses in Europe and North America and toward the special, exotic fruits and vegetables that can be sold at a premium in the developed countries, adding an effort to "brand" the items. If Chile can bring fruit and vegetables to the US markets in good condition, Africa should be able to as well.\n\n4. try to get the African countries to develop regional and continent-wide tourism marketing, and remove the impediments to tourism, such as unstable governments and rebellion.

Exporting Sugarcane to Brazil. Or, importing Ethanol from Brazil or USA to Nigeria. Nigeria is a net exporter of Ethanol. \n\nSolar Panels for Generated Powered homeowners in Nigeria is an option. A west african nation at that latitude would be ideal. \n\nCassava Chips to Cattle Ranchers. They have had to start using other types feed because of the Mad Cow episode. Grinded proteins (cows) doesn't present a viable option any longer.
