Thank you for the opportunity to contribute to pertinent questions that need addressing in today's world.
Firstly, the conditions that agriculture can succeed in lifting people out of extreme poverty include but not limited to improving price incentives for poor farmers by liberating agricultural trade; improving product markets, bulk exports and high-value items for domestic consumption; widening access to financial services and reducing exposure to uninsured risks; enhancing the performance of producer organisations; promoting innovation through service and technology.
Furher, with land and water rapidly becoming scarcer in all regions of the world especially Cape town in South Africa, expanding global and domestic markets; institutional innovations in markets, finance and collective action; resolutions in biotechnology and information technology are all examples of ways of exiting poverty through agriculture.
Thank you once again.
Mr. Chinasa Ikelu
