Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has renewed his appeal to the West to open up its market so as to enable Africa to achieve food security. "You cannot talk about total food security for Africa without talking about the need for Africa to gain access to rich western countries’ agricultural markets. Can we have food security when we are competing on an unequal playing field with these nations? When they flood our markets with finished agricultural products that have been manufactured from our raw materials?" he posed to delegates attending an international meeting on food security.
