“…When looking at the causes of terrorism, the literature on terrorism shows that this proliferation of terrorist groups is linked particularly to the high level of corruption, the failure of governments, the abundance of natural resources, ethnic and tribal tensions, religious fundamentalism and political instability (Alfa‐Wali et al, 2015; Anyanwu, 2014; Asongu et al, 2019; Fazel, 2013; Tahir et al, 2019). Regarding the socioeconomic and political consequences of terrorism, it has been empirically demonstrated in the literature that terrorism has an adverse effect on foreign direct investment (Ezeoha & Ugwu, 2015), governance (Asongu & Nwachukwu, 2017), public debt (Abid & Sekrafi, 2020), trade (Nitsch & Schumacher, 2004), water access (Gleick, 2006) and more importantly economic growth (Abadie & Gardeazabal, 2003; Choi, 2015; Yapatake Kossele & Shan, 2018; Younas, 2015). Surprisingly, the question of whether terrorism affects agriculture has received little attention, particularly in Africa.…”
