Abstract
This paper analyses the contribution and relative performance of agriculture on the Southern African subcontinent. Agriculture and the total economy, sectoral division of agricultural production and trends in agriculture and food production are discussed. From the analysis it is obvious that the developed commercial agricultural sector of South Africa is the dominant force in the subcontinent's agriculture. This sector is, however, at present hampered by various socio‐economic and financial problems. The paper concludes with certain policy recommendations regarding developing traditional agriculture. Potential co‐operation and interaction are also commented upon.
