Case in point
This paper makes an empirical and methodological contribution to estimating the impact of failed support services, such as electricity, on agricultural value chains. Our research offers estimates of the effects of loadshedding (scheduled power outages) on three distinct agricultural value chains, along with strategies used to manage these disruptions. To compare the effects of loadshedding with a baseline of uninterrupted electricity supply, we u…
Is persistent “loadshedding” pulling the plug on agriculture in the Western Cape, South Africa
Besides a few industry reports on the impact of loadshedding on agriculture, there is a dearth of literature on the electricity dependence and the impact of loadshedding on the South African agricultural sector.
