When you’re building a house, the first thing that you need to ensure is that you have a strong base which will support the remaining structure. The stronger the base, the better built and quality of the structure and more chances of it staying intact. Similarly, agriculture in most developing countries forms the base of an economy. If you go back in time you will find civilizations have always flourished around regions of high agricultural yield and which is why a nation without a strong agricultural base will always find it difficult to sustain its economic growth.
