I've heard many times on this forum that Tanzania ''feeds us''. But everyone knows Kenya's food imports from Tanzania account for something like 0.1% of Kenya's food demand.
I've seen this climate map of East Africa, and I can make a few observations.
1. Tanzanians are super lazy.
2. Kenyans are quite hard working.
3. Kenya has like one hundredth the suitable agricultural land as Tanzania, but is ranked as more food secure.
4. Using the ratio of areas suitable for farming, Kenya would be producing enough food for Africa and the Middle East if it was the size of Tanzania.
5. Also considering that Kenya only got 6% of Lake Victoria vs Tanzania's 51%, only God knows what we would achieve with all that.
