Description:
The South African Agricultural Business Innovation Survey describes the patterns of innovation in South African agribusinesses from 2016 to 2018, analysed at an aggregate level for all agribusinesses, and compares trends across three major sub-sectors: agriculture (including crop, animal, and mixed farming), forestry, and fisheries.

Of the targeted businesses of 1 326, 303 responses (22%) were realised.

There are 132 variables and 303 cases in the data set.
Abstract:
The South African Agricultural Business Innovation Survey 2016-18 examines how commercial agriculture, forestry, and fisheries businesses functioned in the face of enormous and intricate challenges; presenting an in-depth, contextualized profile of innovation patterns in the fisheries and forestry sub-sectors as an example of the type of analysis that policy actors in government, business, universities, and civil society organizations might find useful. Moreover, it suggests how stakeholders, particularly those in government, can use the data to inform agricultural and innovation policy.
