Inappropriate government policies: greater attention has been paid to cash crops at the expense of food crops. This is a carryover from the colonial period when cash crops from the colonies served as raw materials for industries in the home countries. The remedy to this problem is that the agricultural policies should be reformulated from concentration on cash crops to pay more attention to food production.
Insufficient agricultural development: in most of these countries, infrastructural development in transport, communication, storage facilities and marketing is insufficient. This frustrates efforts by the farmers to improve yields. The remedy is infrastructural development. Infrastructure is the development in transport, communication, storage, marketing, banking and credit facilities. These should be improved to link the farming areas with towns which provide market for the produce, machinery and inputs
Pests and diseases: these have rendered many potentially productive areas useless. These areas are infested with tsetse flies and locusts. These pests and diseases have destroyed large quantities of food crops in third world countries. The remedy is research and development. There should be increased emphasis on research and development. Research can lead to the use and production of more efficient fertilizers, pesticides and machinery.
