The term Rainfed agriculture is used to describe farming practises that rely on rainfall for water. It provides much of the food consumed by poor communities in developing countries. For example, rainfed agriculture accounts for more than 95 of farmed land in sub Saharan Africa, 90 in Latin America, 75 in the Near East and North Africa 65 in East Asia and 60 in South Asia. ref http www.iwmi.cgiar.org Publications Water Issue Briefs index.aspx Managing water for rainfed agriculture International Water Management Institute , 2010, Issue 10. ref Levels of productivity, particularly in parts of sub Saharan Africa and South Asia, are low due to degraded soils, high levels of evaporation, droughts, floods and a general lack of effective water management. A major study into water use by agriculture, known as the Comprehensive Assessment of Water Management in Agriculture , coordinated by the International Water Management Institute , noted a close correlation between hunger, poverty and water. However, it concluded that there was much opportunity to raise productivity from rainfed farming. The authors considered that managing rainwater and soil moisture more effectively, and using supplemental and small scale irrigation, held the key to helping the greatest number of poor people. It called for a new era of water investments and policies for upgrading rainfed agriculture that would go beyond controlling field level soil and water to bring new freshwater sources through better local management of rainfall and runoff. ref Molden, D.

Since independence, the dominant position of the petroleum sector has greatly reduced the role of agriculture in Gabon . Only 1.9 percent of the total land area is estimated to be under cultivation, and agriculture contributes only about 8 percent of the GDP on the average. In 2004, agricultural imports by Gabon accounted for nearly 19 percent of all imports. Gabon relies heavily on other African states and Europe for much of its food and other agricultural needs. Until World War II 1939 45 , agriculture was confined primarily to subsistence farming and the cultivation of such crops as manioc , banana s, maize corn , rice , taro , and yam vegetable yam s. Since independence there has been an intensive effort to diversify and increase agricultural production. Experimental stations and demonstration farms have been set up, and cooperatives have been established by consolidating rural communities. However, agriculture received low priority until the 1976 81 development plan, and laborers prefer to seek employment in urban areas. The development of agriculture and small business has been hindered by a lack of international competition. Another problem is lack of transportation to markets. In 2004, Gabon produced about 230,000 tons of cassava , 155,000 tons of yams, 61,800 tons of other roots and tubers, 270,000 tons of plantain s, 35,410 tons of vegetables, and 31,000 tons of corn. Sugarcane production was about 235,000 tons. Cocoa bean Cocoa production in 2004 was 600 tons. A state owned 7,500 hectare 18,500 acre palm oil plantation near Lambar n began production in 1986. Palm oil production was 6,400 tons in 2004. A 4,300 hectare 10,600 acre rubber project was being developed rubber production in 2004 was 11,000 tons.
