      abstract = {From 2016, South Africa will implement a carbon tax. The  study analyzed the design of the tax and utilized a  Computable General Equilibrium model to estimate the impact  that the tax will have on the Agricultural Sector. The  results suggest that the direct impact on the sector will  be minimal; however, there are significant indirect  impacts. These indirect impacts occur through the rising  prices of intermediate inputs which experience more  significant direct impacts of the tax. The study then  dissected the indirect impacts to highlight what the key  effects on the sector are likely to be. It was found that  certain products will be severely hit, especially starches,  dairy, sugar, fish, fruits and vegetables, meat, and  forestry. While there is a key cause for concern, if the  right courses of action are taken, then there is evidence  to suggest that the negative impact of the shock can be  significantly offset.},
