This proposition is on the basis that the structural features of the agricultural sector in these economies places the sector in a strategic position in any programme that aims at : arreting the decline of SSA economies in the short run; improving trade and payment balances; generating medium-term conomic growth; and engendering a long-term transformation of these economies.
