QUESTION 3.What percentage of total rice exporter to Africa comes from Asia? How much is it worth annually?

ANSWER Imports in Africa are forecast to rise by a slightly faster rate than the previous decade to 4 million tons more than the present. Although output of paddy is projected to increase at 4 percent per annum, demand for rice would be marginally larger. As a result, Africa is likely to continue to rely on imports to fulfill over 80 percent of its total demand.
