| dc.description.abstract | Growth in the agricultural sector has long been assumed to
automatically benefit the rural non-farm sector, mainly through
production or consumption ‘linkages’, including expenditure
by farmers and their workers. However the economic and
employment benefits of agriculture depend crucially on the
spatial patterns of agricultural production, processing and
marketing (and their linkages to local markets).
These policy findings draw on detailed area-based research
examining agriculture, along with its upstream and downstream
‘linkages’, in the Weenen district of KwaZulu-Natal (Neves
& Hakizimana, 2015). The district is home to both large
and small-scale commercial farmers primarily engaging
in horticulture. The research examined the economic and
employment contribution of agriculture, and its impact on the
larger RNFE. | en_US |
