Which of the following statements about agricultural production in Africa is false?

AAgricultural production has increased slightly since 1960.
BPopulation is increasing, so the demand for food is also increasing.
CSoil fertility is decreasing.
DLittle investment has been made in mechanization in the region.

Verified Answer :

The false statement is - a. Agricultural production has increased slightly since 1960.

The agricultural production in Africa, since 1960 until the present, has been increasing at a moderate rate, not at a small rate. If it was only a slight increase, considering the ever-growing population on the continent (it is the continent with fastest and biggest growth of population) than very big portion of the ''plus'' population would have died from starvation. The continent definitely needs bigger production, especially for its own needs, but it has to be said that little by little the situation is getting better at some regions.

The false statement is - a. Agricultural production has increased slightly since 1960.
