Akinwumi Adesina on Africa's agriculture potential |
The head of the African
Development thinks the biggest business in Africa is going to be the food
business. Oil
is at its lowest price for six years. So,
according to Akinwumi Adesina, people should look to agriculture to make
money as "people depend on food I
haven't seen people drink oil or smoke gas," Mr Adesina told the BBC.
He
is convinced of this because when he was agriculture minister in Nigeria, Aliko
Dangote invested billions of dollars in rice and sugar. "If the richest black
man in the world is putting his money into agriculture, he must have done his
homework."
