Research organisation the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) finds in its latest outlook for the agriculture sector over 2023 to 2032 that the sector is experiencing mounting pressure and challenges that are hampering the extent to which it can continue contributing to gross domestic product (GDP). Speaking during the launch of the latest outlook, the ‘BFAP Baseline 2023’, commodity senior analyst and director Mmatlou Kalaba said recent global events, outbreaks of diseases, severe droughts and financial crises last seen in the 1930s were creating uncertainty about what could happen in the next decade.
