Abstract

Odusola provides compelling reasons for how successes and challenges facing agricultural transformation in Argentina, Brazil, and Costa Rica offer substantial lessons for Africa. In addition to bringing out the motivations for these countries’ structural economic transformation, the chapter explores how each of these countries successfully transformed from a net food importer into a leading net food exporter. Odusola observes that while there are some common traits across the three countries’ agricultural transformations, there are also peculiar drivers to each country that could inspire Africa’s sustainable green revolution. He concludes that the no-till farming and sowing pool in Argentina, the rural credit scheme and export promotion policy in Brazil, and collective institutions and technological innovations in Costa Rica could be game changers for Africa.
