Abstract:
This research paper was focusing on the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI) in the agricultural sector on the growth rate of the selected African countries. Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria and Morocco have been selected by the researcher in this study. The researcher selected this country due to their highest contribution to growth rate (GDP) among the African countries. To see the relationship between foreign direct investment in the agricultural sector, employment rate, capital and the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the country with a higher amount of GDP is more suitable for analysis. It is because of high sensitivity between this variable. The writer focuses on the African region because of the various economic problems that happened within this region. At the end of this research, the researcher hopes that the results will help the government and other investors to improve the economic performance of this region.
