Japan Pledges to Double Africa Rice Production
Shinzo Abe, the Japanese prime minister has pledged to help Africa double its rice production. He made the remarks during a conference being attended by African leaders in the Japanese city of Yokohama.
At the Tokyo International Conference on African Development, Shinzo Abe promised to use Japanese technology and innovation in attaining this goal.
The Africa Development Bank (AfDB) has declared support for this laudable initiative. AFDB President Akinwumi Adesina said:
“In spite of all the gains made in agriculture, we are not winning the global war against hunger. We must all arise collectively and end global hunger. To do that, we must end hunger in Africa. Hunger diminishes our humanity,” .
Japan is in partnership with the AfDB, with high hopes to help shift the highly held view African farmers from producing to eat to producing to sell.
