2014
Smalley, Rebecca
African agriculture is in a phase of rapid commercialisation. Planners and investors in sub-Saharan Africa urgently need to consider how the choice of business model, the local context and the political environment affect outcomes of commercial ventures.

These lessons from history have contemporary relevance.
