Figure 71. Output value of tree and food production per acre used by district (Leones)<br />

Output value of food crop is higher in the<br />

North and in Kono district than that of tree<br />

production. Productivity of food production<br />

(i.e. output per acre) is about the same in the<br />

Northern districts and in Kailahun, but only half<br />

that of in Kenema and Kono districts. However<br />

in Kailahun this situation is compensated by the<br />

fact that much higher output value is generated<br />

by tree cropping compared to all the other<br />

districts, which reflects great productivity in tree<br />

production system. On the other hand, tree crop<br />

production in Bombali and Tonkolili shows very<br />

low productivity of land use. This latter is mainly<br />

East. Next, land productivity analysis is expressed
