abstract: The seasonal patterns o f food supply and consumption are
directly related to the food production capacities and the overall agricultural development status of a given region. In this paper, various aspects of the consequences of seasonality on food supply and production in sub-Saharan Africa , excluding South Africa , are reviewed.
The paper i s presented under the following ten main headings: 1) Food production trends and crop yields 2) Food production and population growth 3) Consumption and production 4) Seasonality of foods, price
and agricultural productivity 5) Food expenditure, labor, and traditional agriculture 6) Food marketing 7) Food security and self-sufficiency 8) Some traditional solutions to seasonality 9) The Green Revolution and Africa 10) Agricultural research priorities for minimizing seasonality
