Abstract: This paper makes a comparative analysis of investment in the agricultural sector, starting with a general conceptualisation of the issue of investment and particularly investment in agriculture on the African continent. A comparative analysis is made investments in African countries such as Angola, South Africa and Mozambique, from the point of view of agriculture's contribution to the GDP of these countries, in which the Mozambican agricultural sector contributes more than 20% to the economy and is one of the largest sources of employment. Agricultural investments in Africa are mostly financed by credit lines from international organisations and different creditor countries. Of the three countries under analysis, South Africa has a very well organised and developed agricultural structure, producing for the domestic market and supplying some international markets. One of the problems in African agriculture is the lack of efficient agricultural policies and an input market. Experiments carried out in some African countries show that some farmers who received fertilisers at zero cost had a significant increase in agricultural production.
