“The agric sector grew by 4.3 per cent and 5.6 per cent in the first and second quarters respectively, compared with 10.2 per cent and 5.6 per cent in the corresponding quarters of 2020,” the Minister noted.

He said the forestry and logging subsector recorded the highest average growth performance of 5.8 per cent in the first half of 2021, representing a significant increase from the average contraction of 8.1 per cent recorded in the corresponding period in 2020.
