Most of the refusing GM food is not the Africans' fault; it is because Europe will stop accepting their exports if they use the GM food.

It's also because the loopies keep the 3rd world media supplied with a steady series of press releases, disguised as material from credible scientific sources, that describe GM crops as part of a corporate conspiracy to control world agriculture and turn African children into mutants, among other wonderful things. Unfortunately, many people in these countries are conditioned to reflexively believe such charges.

European agricultural imports from the developing world are quite limited, mainly because of massive subsidy and protection programs. The US is not much better.
