Traditional economy
Traditional branches of economy in Africa are the same as everywhere in the world: agriculture, cattle-breeding, fishing. Hunting and gathering are most often subsidiary occupations. Only in the dense equatorial rainforests and in the deserts of South Africa, unfit for agriculture and cattle-breeding, they remain principal activities for Pygmies and San (Bushmen).
