Net food exporters are typically countries with a lot of arable land or with relatively low populations. This includes the US, Canada, Argentina, Brazil, Australia, New Zealand, Ukraine, and a few others. However, they have a lot of existing customers in Europe and Asia who appear to have better prospects for generating foreign exchange to buy food than does Africa. Africa generates foreign exchange mainly by selling raw materials, such as metals, petroleum, etc. Labor, per se, appears to have declining value as population increases and as AI automates more and more work. The incremental value of another billion workers is very low.
