"Before the advent of diamond mining in this beautiful republic, agriculture was the leading sector in the national GDP, accounting to 80 per cent of the national income. This industry has a great potential not only of hamper harvest but also of creating employment to multitudes of youth currently struggling with unemployment and roaming the streets. We can also develop industries as there are value chain industries to be developed in this sector and these will widen the employment threshold hence less unemployment to be realised."
