Food security remains a serious concern in Africa because of famine, drought and low yields. To address this concern, the thesis quantifies sources of productivity and efficiency; and provides policy recommendations needed to raise African agricultural productivity. The results indicate that there is room for improvement in lifting African agricultural productivity through appropriate policy implementation. These include R&D spending, schooling, and lowering of HIV prevalence rates. The thesis also evaluates the efficiency of Kenyan rice farming and processing as a special focus. The results suggest differences in rice farming efficiency levels across regions largely attributed to age, gender and technology. For rice processing, farmers can improve their efficiency with better knowledge of servicing and maintenance of rice processing machines
