Regional spillovers offer prospects for accelerating Africa's agricultural productivity growth, market development and food security. West Africa has recognised and embraced the importance of regional technology transfers, agricultural commodity trade, food security monitoring and agricultural planning. In order for the Southern African region to follow suit, South Africa's country Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme ( CAADP) plan will need to recognise the country's critical role in enhancing regional agricultural development. An outward-looking country vision from South Africa promises to benefit regional as well as domestic agricultural growth and food security.
