Either way the farm can grow and sell crops locally. Trade wise, a country should be fine as long as it has the possibility to be self saficiant. Affrica has the abbility, what the lack is ths opacity. I really do not know how else to say it. If they changed thier horrid farming habits, they could infact become self saficiant.

If we aided the hell outta them, and dropped all tarrifs, and infact gave them the anti on the world market, the second any amount of global economic harship hit, they would fail again. Why give some one somthing, that they can easily obtain when it will make them weak in the long run?
