Explanation:

Some of the Agricultural challenges Africa faced are land reforms, technological innovation, climatic change, value chains, trade,irrigation e.t.c. and these affect food production in the continent.

Technological Innovation: Africa lack ideas, innovations that require the use of technology to promote growth and development of food in the continent.

Lack of technical know how, processing and storage facilities have endanger many crops produced and many have been affected by pest and diseases leading to wastage of these resources.

Land reforms policies by imposing ceiling on farm lands and restricting the allocation and use of farm reduce farm sizes to be use for Agriculture and these have lead to decrease in production of food.

The problem of climate change affects Agriculture in the continent...for example decreased or changes in precipitation pattern,increase in temperatures, reduction in water availability can reduce access to food and disrupt Agricultural productivity

Problem of irrigation is another problem. In adequate method of irrigating farm lands have lead to waterlogging, maldistribution of water, congestion of canals and unavailability of water for crops growth and destruction of crops.

Business or value chain of Agriculture in Africa lack the technical know to make good quality out of raw produce and more income for sustenance
