Why onions from Tanzania, eggs from Uganda are a hot cake in Kenya

A recent survey by the University of Kigali, Rwanda and the Open University of Tanzania on status of food security in Sub-Saharan Africa reveals that we risk being food insecure even a month after harvest. Granary system is noticeably disappearing in many rural families.

Food insecurity is further amplified by ungoverned land sub-division that is scaling down acreage of farming enterprises, lack of inputs optimisation, limited access to credit and lack of forethought or means to mitigate or adapt to the effects of agricultural shocks. It must be remembered that agriculture is the mainstay of most third world countries, contributing immensely to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
