Abstract
Abstract Horticulture has not been a priority in the agricultural development plans of southern Africa. Large advances have been made in the production of staple crops while horticultural production stagnated or declined. Governments in the Southern Africa Development Coordination Council (SADCC) region are now beginning to consider horticulture as a tool in improving nutrition, the income of their people, and national foreign exchange earnings. A number of constraints exist, however, including attitude, transport, postharvest handling, lack of horticulturists, seed and plant shortages, and poor communication. The potential of horticulture in the region is great if the governments and people of the region can meet the challenges of developing the horticultural industry.
