Drawing on the experiences of Asian countries, we attempt to identify the transferability of Asian Green Revolution to sub‐Saharan Africa by examining whether there is a common set of factors affecting rice yields in the two regions. We have attempted to propose the strategy to realize a Green Revolution in sub‐Saharan Africa based on lessons learned from the comparative studies included in this special volume.
