The agriculture sector is poised to regain its prominence as the highest contributor to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) overtaking the extractive industry as the price of gold fell on the world market.
Almost all agriculture sub-sectors have expanded this year, a report from the Government Information Agency (GINA) said. With its $23.8B budget, the sector operationalised a number of infrastructure support structures, including the installation of drainage pumps in key areas, the commissioning of three laboratories in three different sub-sectors and the opening of new markets for exports for products such as rice, which again boomed in 2014.
