Figure 41: Main reason for agricultural involvement by province, 2011<br />

Of the <strong>household</strong>s that were engaged in agricultural production, 41,9% cultivated food and grains, while<br />

40,6% grew fruit and vegetables. Poultry was produced by 45,8% while 43,9% also produced livestock.<br />

Only 12,3% of the <strong>household</strong>s involved in agriculture reported getting agricultural-related support from the<br />

government during the year preceding the <strong>survey</strong>. The only provinces where significant support was<br />

provided were Eastern Cape (26,9%), KwaZulu-Natal (17,6%) and Western Cape (12,7%). Nationally,<br />

three per cent of the <strong>household</strong>s reported receiving training and 6,4% received dipping services. The most<br />

frequently used services in Eastern Cape and North West were dipping services, whilst visits by the<br />

agricultural extension officer were the most commonly mentioned services in Eastern Cape and Gauteng.<br />

A particular <strong>household</strong> can be involved in more than one activity and percentages therefore do not add up to 100%.<br />
