摘要：Per capita consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa stagnated
during the last two decades even though annual agricultural
production grew 2.5 percent¡ªa rate that met or exceeded
that of all the other regions included in this report, except
North Africa. With limited financial resources constraining
imports, this growth was not sufficient to offset the high
population growth rate of more than 2.8 percent per year.
While food aid has often played a key role in augmenting
food supplies¡ªraising per capita consumption 5-10 percent
in many years¡ªit has not been able to accelerate the per
capita consumption trend. Moreover, food aid as a share of
total imports declined from roughly 50 percent in the early
1980s to 25 percent in more recent years despite the fact
that, of all the regions, food aid has played the most significant
role in Sub-Saharan Africa. This declining trend is
reflective of overall trends in global food aid allocations to
food-deficit countries.
