I don't think green activists (who are not particularly influential in their nations) are responsible for the low agricultural productivity in Africa. Additionally you think the "Western economic advice" is bad you should see the policies African countries normally pursue. Before the 80s, the world bank didn't give economic advice to countries but the massive defaults and currency crisises made the bank much more cautious about lending to developing countries.
You're basically promoting the same propaganda that African leaders parrot. They consistently fuck up the basics and then blame western economists and activists for their own failure. Unless Africans learn to stand on their own two feet they will never get anywhere.
I know this is very hard for you understand as an American, but you are not the centre of the world. You are not responsible for either Africa's success or failure.

I never said that Greens are responsible for the low agricultural productivity in Africa. That goes back millennia.
Show me an example of “propaganda from African leaders” that says the important thing is to promote high-value-added export industries.
Your last paragraph is ridiculous. I never said anything of the sort, and you know it.
A posting rule of this column is to be respectful. You are crossing the line. If you continue, I will block you.
Glad to finally get to your recommendation on this series. The key is high value exports.
