Even after World War 2 African nations' economies were based on agriculture.?

After World War II, many African nations continued to rely heavily on agriculture due to colonial legacies that prioritized cash crops for export rather than diversified local economies. This reliance was compounded by limited industrialization, infrastructure deficits, and political instability, which hindered economic diversification. As a result, agriculture remained a primary source of livelihood for a large portion of the population, shaping the economic landscape of the continent for decades. Efforts to diversify economies have gradually increased, but agriculture still plays a crucial role in many African nations today.
