Agricultural Exports and Food Insecurity in Sub-Saharan Africa : A Qualititative Configurational Analysis

---

Export of agricultural products is increasingly seen as one of the few viable instruments to solve the problem of food insecurity in developing countries.

Before agricultural exports are encouraged, food availability, agricultural labour productivity, the share of agriculture in total GDP, the amount of staple food imports, and the share of investment goods in total imports should be considered.
