Land
is a finite constraint in Rwanda, and the mountainous topography of the country
means that there are only 1.5 million Ha of available arable land. Agricultural
land plots are very small (80% of land holdings are less than 1 Ha, often
divided into three to four plots), and over 70% of agricultural land is either
on hills or on the side of hills. Because about 80% of the population of Rwanda
lives in rural areas and is engaged in agriculture to some extent, finding ways
to increase agricultural productivity is the key to reducing poverty. The
government of Rwanda (GoR) has therefore made agricultural development a priority
and allocated significant resources to improving productivity, expanding the
livestock sector, promoting sustainable land management, and developing supply
chains and value-added activities.
