Abstract: The approach does show some inefficiencies in agricultural policy in many African countries, where in fact there is no optimum relationship between agricultural policies and the particular levels of development that countries should adopt in the first place. Thus, the approach suggests the existence of some inefficiencies related to the way in which agriculture in Africa is a continuous failure. On the other hand, investments contribute to success, for example the low levels of investment that exist promote such inefficiencies in line with institutional inefficiencies, which in turn promote the increase in food insecurity in these countries in particular. The failure of agrarian reform in many countries contributes to the inefficiency of agrarian policy, where its absence is significant. On the other hand, countries that have achieved a turnaround, such as South Africa, have nevertheless managed to change the course and direction of agriculture, in line with the initiatives of Rwanda and Ghana.
