Mbare Musika is ours
The functioning of markets is premised on the creation of collaborative relationships and networks. Food markets in Zimbabwe are evolving in response to state interventions that aim to restructure the marketplace and the flow of produce. This article explores Mbare Musika, the oldest and largest marketplace in Harare supplying the city with fresh fruit and vegetables. We analyse Mbare Musika from the perspective of the interactions among farmers …
Contextualizing Zimbabwe's land reform
In the heat of the discussions about the fast-track land reform programme (FTLRP) in Zimbabwe, little attention is given to the experience with land reform immediately following independence. Understanding these past experiences is useful to contextualize current challenges. Although the farmers resettled in the early 1980s started out in a completely different political and economic environment, the challenges in establishing their farms and com…
Who Went Where… and Why
Households in Zimbabwe are currently experiencing an ongoing series of multiple and complex shocks. In contrast with ‘conventional’ shocks such as droughts, which are usually singular in nature, the contemporary environment challenges households with, among other things, hyperinflation, an extreme and prolonged contraction of the economy, massive unemployment, a cholera pandemic, and politically motivated violence – all exacerbated by formidable …
Zimbabwe’s Land Reform Program
Economic Benefits and Costs of Land Redistribution in Zimbabwe in the Early 1980s
Guest Editor’s Introduction
Ex-Ante Actions and Ex-Post Public Responses to Drought Shocks
The Impact of Agricultural Extension on Farm Production in Resettlement Areas of Zimbabwe
This study contributes to the literature on the impact of farmer contact with agricultural extension services on farm productivity, drawing on a unique panel sample of households residing in three resettlement areas of rural Zimbabwe. It pays particular attention to the potential confounding effects of the biases identified by Birkhaeuser, Evenson, and Feder. Specifically, we exploit the longitudinal nature of our data to estimate the impact of e…
Survival or Growth? Temporal Dimensions of Rural Livelihoods in Risky Environments
In 1980, Zimbabwe initiated a land reform programme intended to improve the welfare of the poor and the landless. Beneficiaries overwhelmingly came from the overcrowded communal areas, where successive rounds of discriminatory legislation had pushed them. Additionally, for more than a decade, resettlement planning 'models' called for them to utilise the land resource made available to earn their livelihoods exclusively from farming. The paper exa…
Child Growth in the Time of Drought
This paper examines the impact of rainfall shocks on a measure of child health, growth in height, drawing on a unique household panel data set from rural Zimbabwe. We find that children aged 12 to 24 months lose 1.5‐2 cm of growth in the aftermath of a drought. Catch‐up growth in these children is limited so that this growth faltering has a permanent effect. By contrast, there is no evidence that older children experience a slowdown in growth. Th…
Land Reform, Growth and Equity
In an article published in June 1999 in the Journal of Southern African Studies by one of us (Kinsey), evidence using a unique 17-year panel data set was presented in support of the idea that - contrary to much popular thinking - the experience of land reform in Zimbabwe has been generally positive. We revisit some of the key parameters employed in that article using data collected in the 1999 round of the same panel. We expand the analysis with …
Revisiting forever gained
This study examines income dynamics for a panel of households resettled on former white‐owned farms in the aftermath of Zimbabwe's independence. There are four core findings: (i) over a 13‐year period (1983–96) there has been an impressive accumulation of assets and a dramatic increase of crop incomes; (ii) the rise of crop incomes is partly due to asset accumulation but largely to increased asset returns; (Hi) differences between households in i…
Land Reform, Growth and Equity
Zimbabwe's resettlement programme is nearly twenty years old. The first families were resettled in 1980, just a few months after independence, and the programme has to date resettled over 70,000 families, well short of the target of 162,000 set in the early 1980s. A tension exists over where the programme goes from here. The rhetoric of the 1996 presidential elections, which presented land reform as an urgent task to be finished (the same rhetori…

Forever Gained
Opening ParagraphIn September 1980 the Government of Zimbabwe embarked upon a programme of agricultural resettlement which is modest in terms of the extent of the problems which it seeks to mitigate, but ambitious in terms of the capacity of a new administration to implement it. The target rates of resettlement designed into the original programme have subsequently been multiplied some ninefold by the addition of a second, parallel programme, whi…
