Agriculture in Botswana

Agriculture in Botswana is a sector of the national economy with a small contribution to GDP but significant employment. Due to ineffective agricultural policies, the sector remains stagnant. Crop production is subsidized and regulated by the government through the Integrated Support Programme for Arable Agriculture Development (ISPAAD), modeled on European Union systems. Livestock production is more intensive than crop production.
