Explain why there is perenial hunger in Subsahara yet there are millions of acres under usless crops such as tea, coffee, flowers what not all owned by foreigners from EU and Sodom.

There’s a huge problem with subsistence farming. Your cost per unit area of land is triple that of a commercial farm. As a result, you need up growing very little because you don’t have much money to maximize your production per acre.
Your pawpaws grown in Brazil cost ksh 30/piece. A mama growing them in Uasin Gishu has to cost them at ksh 100/piece or she will go broke.
The government should invest in industrialization and leave farming to commercial entities.
We are trapped in the cycle of growing cash crops to get USD to repay WB/IMF loads. Alafu we don’t have the capacity to transition without defaulting on said loans.
I think the problem is not growing cash crop but managing our local crops such as maize. Unapata kenya still grows maize using old traditional manual labour.

I think there is an oversupply of a lot of products such as Coffee beans, I would say 60 % of it is thrown away. That land should be utilised for other purposes.
