by Lefophane, Mapula Hildah and Mmatlou Kalaba


Abstract
In today’s era of technological advancement, the role of information and communication technology (ICT) as a powerful catalyst to boost productivity and resuscitate growth is highly acknowledged. This paper aims to examine the effects of ICT on South Africa ‘s agro-processing industries. Effects of ICT investment on agro-processing industries and selected macro-economic variables are examined through hypothetical policy simulations using the computable general equilibrium model. The simulation results underscore the need for policy measures to increase ICT investment in the agro-processing sector to increase growth.
