Overview

Empirical evidence shows climate change and political stability affect cereal yields in Sub-Saharan Africa, suggesting improved policies are needed.

Key Points

  • Cereal yields are positively affected by political stability, showing a significant correlation with productivity.
  • Foreign direct investment (FDI) in the region impacts cereal yields, with effects ranging between 0.23–0.35.
  • Dynamic panel data analysis using Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) highlights the importance of arable land on agricultural output.
  • Long-term policy interventions must focus on climate adaptation and economic stability to enhance food security.
