Africa Must Retain its Land - Ndungane

The African Monitor (AM) has warned that foreign ownership of land might result in crops being grown for export, rather than to feed hungry locals.

AM’s Warren Nyamugasira says countries such as China, South Korea and Qatar, which have rushed to lease large tracts of land in Africa, want to produce food that can be exported to ensure their own food security, and boost their own earnings.

His view was reiterated by AM founder and president, Njongonkulu Ndungane, who maintains that it should not be about exploiting Africa’s land but creating a win-win situation.
