The Africa agricultural sector encompasses industries falling outside of the grain, timber, sugar and animal feed industries. Key sectors in the industry include fruit, tea, coffee, dairy, palm oil, rubber, cotton, tobacco, vegetables, flowers and nuts.

The sector employs at least an estimated 350m people and accounts for a minimum of 20% of the continents GDP, and is an essential contributor to the economies of South Africa, Malawi, Mozambique, Zimbabwe, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana. Distinct processes within this sector comprise growing, harvesting, processing and packaging.

The significance of the agricultural sector is reflected in its high share of GDP in most countries, the even greater share of employment, as well as its prioritisation in the development plan, with the total value of agricultural output, has grown markedly over the past decade.

Weighting plays a vital role in the agricultural and farming equipment industry. Whether tracking crop yields, managing livestock and their feed, or shipping raw agricultural products, weighing is critical to successful operations. Other important roles that weight scales play in the farming and agricultural industries include: managing feed ingredients, mixing and preparation of fertilisers, monitoring yields and in the worker remuneration based on productivity.
