“…The larger value of corruption coefficient indicates that quality of institution matters a lot for making FDI inflow in South Asia.

Walsh, 2010).…”

“…In South Asia, at the country level, high political risks and obstacles have been an important deterrent of FDI inflows (Sahoo et al, 2014). Clarke and Logan (2008) in their study found that FDI flows are greatest to countries that have less political risk and better physical infrastructure.…”

“…They found that volume of exports, GDP growth rate, human population, tariff on imports and price index are major determinants of FDI inflow to Pakistan.

“…Sri Lanka has had liberal FDI policies, whereas it was restricted in the other countries until the mid-2000s (Aggarwal 2005;Sahoo, Nataraj, and Dash 2014). In Bangladesh, as well, there has historically been support to attract increased foreign investment since the 1980s.…”

Using a novel dataset on foreign direct investment (FDI), this paper analyzes the correlates of planned FDI in the food and beverages sector in 49 African countries over the period 2003–2017. It applies the random effects model and augments the standard specification of FDI determinants with a set of factors related to the agricultural sector performance, hypothesized to be essential from the perspective of supply chain linkages and access to raw materials. The results indicate that well‐performing and well‐capitalized agricultural sector of the host country is a key factor associated with the choice of investment location by foreign investors, especially those from the Global North. Capital investment in agriculture, as proxied by agricultural gross fixed capital formation and net capital stock, is particularly important. Public investment in agriculture, in the form of government expenditure and official development assistance, is also associated with higher FDI. These factors, however, are not significant in case of the least developed countries where only market potential appears to matter for foreign investors. The results suggest that complementarities may exist between different types of investments and that policy‐makers willing to attract food and beverages FDI should prioritize agricultural sector development.
