ABSTRACT: The economic development in Africa is relatively slow. By promoting the
development of rural areas and agriculture,
it can effectively drive the local economic
development speed. The development of agriculture and rural areas needs to
improve efficiency by promoting industrial upgrading, so governments in
Africa should promote industrial upgrading through scientific methods, use machinery production to improve the
efficiency of agricultural development, and improve the quality of
development in rural areas. This paper expounds on the problems and countermeasures in the development of agriculture and
rural areas in Africa through qualitative analysis. First, the current situation of agricultural and rural
development in Africa is analyzed through three parts: the development
of African agricultural trade import and export, the development of
agricultural added value in Africa, and the environmental development of rural
areas in Africa. Analyze and explain. Then, the problems existing in the
development of agriculture and rural areas in Africa are expounded in three
parts: the relatively slow development of agricultural import and export trade
volume, the relatively lagging overall economic development, and the low speed
of urbanization; low, the speed of industrial transformation is not fast
enough, and the government’s policies are not
scientific enough. The three parts are the reasons for the problems of
agricultural and rural development in Africa. Finally, it proposes targeted
policy recommendations for agricultural and rural development in Africa by promoting the proportion of agricultural
mechanization production, promoting the acceleration of industrial
transformation, and employing think tanks to use scientific macroeconomic
development policies.
