MAIN CONSTRAINTS TO AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
• Poor marketing of farm produce• Inadequate, expensive and poor quality farm inputs• Lack of market information• High cost of farm labour• Sub-division of land into uneconomic units• Insufficient water for domestic and livestock consumption and
for irrigation• Low and unreliable rainfall• Poor infrastructure – roads etc• Land degradation (soil erosion, overgrazing)
