A socioeconomic analysis of factors that affect the adoption of agroforestry technologies in the Eastern Cape province of South Africa

D. Tech. Business Administration / The objective of the study is to explore factors that affect the adoption of agroforestry (here after AF) technology in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. Contrary to what is known about most of the countries in the Southern African (SADC) region, the practice of agro forestry (AF) is not well developed in South Africa. This problem is directly related to the dualistic nature of the agriculture sector in the country, and this fact has led to bias against smallholder farmers. The Eastern Cape Province was selected for the study due to its vast potential for agricultural development in general, and AF practices in particular.
