Особое внимание уделено африканскому континенту, где замедленное колониальным режимом развитие сельского хозяйства сопровождалось демографическим взрывом и технологическим отставанием. Производство кукурузы рассматривается в контексте продовольственной безопасности, технологических и экологических вызовов. Актуальность работы обусловлена тем, что кукуруза является одной из трех основных продовольственных культур, а также используется как сырье во множестве видов промышленности, и спрос на нее постоянно растет. Цель исследований – определить роль Африки в мировом производстве кукурузы. В основе работы лежит анализ данных ФАО ООН по валовому производству, площадям возделывания и урожайности кукурузы за период с 1961 по 2023 гг. Методология включает в себя сравнительный анализ макрорегионов, где кукуруза выращивается в значительных объемах с выделением экстенсивных (расширение площадей) и интенсивных (рост урожайности) факторов. Результаты исследований позволили определить роль Африки в мировом производстве кукурузы, и было выяснено, что доля континента в нем осталась неизменной, а урожайность как была, так и осталась самой низкой в мире. Увеличение валового объема производства было достигнуто в основном за счет расширения площадей, практически не были использованы современные научные достижения. Провал «Зеленой революции» на континенте связан с неразвитой инфраструктурой, политической нестабильностью и малой доступностью технологий для производителей. Однако у аграрного сектора Африки есть потенциал, который континент может реализовать, следуя Комплексной программе развития сельского хозяйства и пользуясь поддержкой мирового сообщества.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>This study analyzes global trends in corn production, with a specific focus on the African continent. Characterized by a history of colonial agricultural suppression, rapid population growth, and technological limitations, Africa’s corn production is examined in relation to food security, technological innovation, and environmental challenges. The study’s relevance stems from corn’s status as one of three critical food crops and a vital industrial raw material with continuously increasing global demand. The research aims to assess Africa’s role in global corn production dynamics. Employing a comparative analysis of FAO data on gross production, cultivated areas, and corn yields from 1961 to 2023, the methodology differentiates between extensive (area expansion) and intensive (yield improvement) growth factors. The findings indicate that Africa’s share of global corn output has remained static, while its yields remain the lowest globally. Gross production increases have been primarily driven by cultivated area expansion, with limited adoption of modern agricultural technologies. The study attributes the limited success of the Green Revolution in Africa to underdeveloped infrastructure, political instability, and restricted access to technology for producers. However, the African agricultural sector possesses significant unrealized potential, which can be leveraged through adherence to the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Programme (CAADP) and sustained support from the international community.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>Сельское хозяйство</kwd><kwd>кукуруза</kwd><kwd>Африка</kwd><kwd>Европа</kwd><kwd>Северная Америка</kwd><kwd>Азия</kwd><kwd>валовый сбор</kwd><kwd>урожайность</kwd><kwd>площадь выращивания</kwd><kwd>эффективность</kwd><kwd>производительность</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Agriculture</kwd><kwd>corn</kwd><kwd>Africa</kwd><kwd>Europe</kwd><kwd>North America</kwd><kwd>Asia</kwd><kwd>gross production</kwd><kwd>yield</kwd><kwd>cultivated area</kwd><kwd>efficiency</kwd><kwd>productivity</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Shiferaw B., Prasanna B.M., Hellin J., Bänziger M.
