| dcterms.description | Much is happening these days in strengthening the food processing sector in southern Africa and beyond, and this is a timely review of the sector s information needs in three countries.
A study undertaken in 1999 by the Imani Development Trust of South Africa for CTA, in collaboration with regional consultants, highlights the potential contribution of small-scale processing to the agricultural sector and points to several constraints including difficulties in accessing capital, limited technical and managerial skills, lack of information, and restricted markets.
Information is, as ever, crucial to the sector s development and the report recommends strengthening the advisory infrastructure for entrepreneurs through business support centres, and national and regional networks. This is a valuable tool for the planners and managers of such services.
