Abstract
• Agriculture is a good sector to learn from when considering a national minimum wage because:
– It is historically a low-wage sector
– It has been shedding jobs
– It is enormously diverse
– A minimum wage was introduced recently (2003)
– The outcomes have partly contradicted predictions, especially since the 50% increase in 2013.
