| Abstract: | The two geopolitical groupings - the SATBVC complex formed by the Republic of South Africa, the various self-governing national states and the independent states of Transkei, Bophuthatswana, Venda and Ciskei, known as the TBVC states, on the one hand, and the group of nine countries forming the Southern African Development Coordination Conference (SADCC), on the other - that together with South West Africa/Namibia make up the southern African region, have sharply contrasting political stances. Nevertheless, interaction between them is widespread and diverse, with the common denominator being the Republic of South Africa, whose dominant role is manifest both within the SATBVC and, principally through commercial trade, with individual SADCC member countries. Within the framework of the above political structure, the author analyses the present state of agriculture in the southern African region, looking in turn at agricultural activity in the SATBVC system, in SWA/Namibia, and in the SADCC region (country profiles and SADCC agricultural programmes), and emphasizing the interaction between the various southern African States in the field of production and marketing. |
