The article reports on the papers presented at the "Conference on Agricultural Research Priorities for Economic Development in Africa," that was held in Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire in April 1968. The impact of research on agricultural activities of the African peasant farmers has not made anything, and that it has created a possible revolution in agricultural practices. There were few cases wherein research into food crops, agricultural systems, and internal marketing problems received more than passing attention. The opportunity for a comprehensive overview of the research needs in agricultural development was provided by the conference.
