subsistence requirements andto marginally offset their
falling profit margins. Quite late in the season, during May
and June, water melon and honeydew melon is harvested. The
production of melon is becoming more important than it was in
previous seasons and it has now become an important export
Crop.
Any agricultural day labour which is required is normally
employed during the peak season, between January and March,
and is used almost solely for harvesting crops. No individual
farmer is likely to employ day labourers for the whole of
this period.
IV. LABOUR SUPPLY IN THE COMMODITY PRODUCING SECTOR
In this section I will describe the pattern of labour supp ly
in the commodity production sector. First, I will consider
the aggregate picture of labour supply and then I will
consider the on-farm pattern of labour supply in terms of
full-time family workers, part-time family workers and wage
labour utilisation.
The Agricultural Workforce as _a Whole
Looking at the aggregate picture of the agricultural
workforce - which includes family workers of both sexes
working on the farm on both a part-time and full-time basis
and day labourers of both sexes —- we find that women are more
common in the agricultural labour force as a whole than men.
