SUGGESTIONS FOR AGRICULTURAL ECONOMICS RESEARCH IN SOUTH AFRICA

M. C. Lyne and G. F. Ortmann

Agrekon, 1992, vol. 31, issue 4

Abstract: This paper discusses research topics relevant to South African agriculture. Although the developing and commercial sectors are treated separately, the object is to identify issues that policy-makers are likely to address and which will influence the common goals of efficiency and equity. In the developing sector, emphasis is placed on land markets and structural programmes. In the commercial sector, emphasis is placed on land redistribution, inflation and exchange rates, and marketing and labour legislation. Protection of the environment is stressed in both cases.
