Employment in agriculture, hunting, forestry and fishing in South Africa 2013-2021
In 2021, the number employed in agriculture, hunting, forestry, and fishing amounted to approximately 868,000. This is an increase of 17.3 percent compared to 2013. Furthermore, between 2013 and 2021, the employment rate fluctuated, declining by roughly 7.3 percent in 2014, then rising again to 897,000 in 2015.
This can be attributed to the government's National Development Plan (NDP), aiming to undertake inequality, unemployment, and social exclusion. The plan was introduced in 2012 and is expected by 2030 to support commercial agricultural industries, giving way to high possible growth and generation of employment with a focus on the more assuring regions.
