      abstract = {The perceptions of commercial farmers in Natal of factors  influencing the direction of their farm business in the  future, and views of future management problems and  opportunities in agriculture are discussed in this research  note. Economic and financial changes, as well as changes in  political, labour and climatic conditions were expected to  be the most important factors influencing the future  direction of farm businesses. Labour management was cited  by most respondents to be a problem, other areas of concern  being increasing production costs, political changes,  economic and financial aspects, and climatic uncertainty.  Improved production efficiency and marketing opportunities  were perceived as the most important management  opportunities in the future.},
