Abstract:In recent years empirical enquiry has indicated that share contracts in agriculture often take the form of complex but relatively efficient and equitable working relationships among small farmers, allowing them to assemble the resources to secure subsistence and to develop and expand agricultural production when the vagaries of weather, market and policy are favourable. This book examines four African cases - Ghana, Sudan, Lesotho and Senegambia - in the light of the long-standing debates about sharecropping.
