All developing countries go through a stage of urbanisation - as people leave the countryside and flock to the cities in pursuit of a share of the wealth that cities create.
This generally results in higher national productivity.
However, those same countries need to address productivity in, and of, the countryside.
In a typical agriculture supply chain, there is plenty of scope for value to be lost - right from planting through to cropping, processing and distribution. The best producing countries maximise value at all stages in the process.
