# The Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy’s Baseline Agricultural Outlook 2025 to 2034 has revealed that South Africa’s agricultural sector outperformed the wider economy over the past two decades. According to the Bureau’s director, Tracy Davids, this is driven largely by high-value, export-led commodities. Davids says stagnant domestic incomes make exports vital despite global risks. The sector is projected to grow 5.5-percent in 2025, boosted by strong crop yields, technology investment, and favourable weather. She warns that long-term growth prospects remain subdued.
