Abstract:
The South African agricultural sector is dualistic in nature. On the one hand, it comprises a vibrant, highly capitalised, mainly white commercial sector, of about 40 000 commercial farm units (Stats SA, 2009). On the other hand, there are about 4 to 4.5 million blacks involved in farming at some scale, of whom about 93 to 95% do so mainly for subsistence purposes, and the rest are mainly commercially oriented smallholders.
