Despite the abundance of agricultural resources, sub-Saharan Africa remains the world's most food insecure region. There are many critical factors responsible for food insecurity in this region. They include undeveloped land tenure systems, high bank loan rates, inadequate availability of agricultural special banks, poor access to market information and prices, an unreliable market for farm produce and inadequate road network, transport and storage infrastructures for farm produce. Agriculture is one of the economic sectors that can employ millions of young people and reduce youth unemployment and enhance food security on the continent.
