The aging population has traditionally practiced agriculture in Rwanda and Africa at large. In Rwanda, the average age of farmers is over 50 years(AHS,2017). This leads to limited innovation because farming is traditionally done, and there is little technology use in this sector. This has led to stunted growth in production and the poor quality of the goods produced. This has resulted in hunger for some African countries and high government spending on food imports. According to AfDB, Africa spends 35 billion USD on food imports. Also, as a result of limited bookkeeping practices and activity tracking in Agriculture by smallholder farmers who make up 70% of farming in Rwanda, it is hard for this sector to attract funding from investors and financial institutions, and it is the same case for most of the African smallholder farmers. And also, where there is no or limited activity tracking, there is less innovation and correction of past mistakes.
