1, That its not one big country, most countries in Africa are self sufficient in food even at their inefficient levels, but they don't share with those countries that are overpopulated for their fertile land.
2, Wars.
The UK has about 400 people per arable sq km. and we are about 65% food efficient.
Africa has about 42 people per arable sq km. The maths is easy.
Are you sure? According to my sums at 42 people per km2 all of Africa consists of arable land and then some.
PS besides uneven production patterns and wars there's also:
Africa 30.37 sq km of which approx 40% is fertile. = 12.2million sq km fertile land
Africa population. 1.2bn. =100 per sq km of fertile land.
So an error on my part there. Its 100 per sq km (not 40) but the UK is still 4 times that at 420.
Second correction. I was right. 40% is arable land. 70% is fertile land.
