The evaluation of KwaZulu-Natal's priority agricultural sectors for effective export promotion / Amorie VisserVisser, Amorie January 2012 (has links)
This study provides the strategies that can be implemented to promote the
agricultural sector in KwaZulu-Natal and the theory behind economic development,
as well as the importance of trade and export growth. There are restrictions in terms
of trade and it is important that these are addressed before making a decision to
choose a viable, potential and realistic country to export to. This study is aimed
answer the research question if agriculture can be seen as a primary export sector in
KwaZulu-Natal. Furthermore, this study includes background on the KwaZulu-Natal
Province and mainly focus on the indicators such as GDP, employment, health
issues and other indicators that will indicate that this province is of importance in
South Africa in terms of the agricultural sector. This study uses SARS data to
analyse and calculate the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) of all agricultural
products of the province. This is done to identify if there is a comparative advantage
in the products studied in this study. The products of KwaZulu-Natal also show that
this province’s agriculture can be seen as a primary export sector and that this sector
is a major contribution to South Africa’s GDP and development. This study uses the
Decision Support Model (DSM) to compare the results from the Revealed
Comparative Advantage to identify the products and sectors which have the most
export potential in the international market. This study reveals that the agricultural
products and industries in KwaZulu-Natal with the highest overall export potential are
chocolate and cocoa preps, refined soybean oil, and leather products as the three
top performers among agricultural products and have the most export potential in the
province. Concluding remarks are based on the findings made throughout the study. / Thesis (MCom (International Trade))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012
