They farm 80 per cent of the farmland in Asia and Africa. They produce 80 per cent of the food consumed in the developing world and they feed one third of the global population.I previously found this statement in May 2018 online here: https://www.ifad.org/who/president/speech/tags/y2009/1647931, but this URL is no longer active.

However, important regional differences exist... Very small farms (≤2 ha) are important and have local significance in sub-Saharan Africa, southeast Asia, and south Asia, where they contribute to about 30% of most food commodities.
