As most of the continent has never employed modern techniques for agricultural production\, processing and transportation\, producers often lack basic infrastructure\, crop varieties optimized for local conditions and other tools commonly available in more developed regions. However\, for the handful of managers pioneering agricultural production in Africa\, these challenges present opportunities. \n\nWhere are the most attractive opportunities in Africa?\nWhat are the particular political challenges and how have the managers addressed them?\nHow can managers assure transparency in their negotiations of large-scale land acquisitions and long-term concessions?\nHow do managers’ strategies in Africa address the issues of smallholders and social responsibility?\n\n
