"The toxin primarily affects crops that grow in the tropics, a zone that around 80 percent of African countries fall in. But the problem is not limited to Africa. Guatemala, Haiti, India, and other south Asian countries are struggling with the toxin too...In the U.S. and other developed countries, people rarely become sick from aflatoxins. Regulatory systems keep contaminated crops out of commercial food and animal feed."
