‘We Are All Poor Here’
While the central thrust of Michael Lipton's work has been the crucial role of productivity gains in small farm agriculture for rural poverty reduction, in many sub-Saharan African countries this desirable outcome has stubbornly refused to materialise, and growing numbers of rural poor people are found persistently to fail to secure even minimal acceptable levels of food consumption. A social protection policy response is to target social cash tr…
Seasonal Food Crises and Policy Responses
Avoiding Repetition
The rapid pace at which the climate change agenda is permeating wide-ranging arenas of established development practice and theory leaves little space and time for reflection on the implications this has for learning across agendas and literatures. 'Adaptation' is a term that is increasingly reserved for processes that build the resilience of households, communities and sectors to changes in the climate. But, 'adaptation' always has, and arguably…

Livelihoods Research Findings and Agriculture-led Growth
The findings of livelihoods research conducted in East Africa and Malawi demonstrate that the role of agriculture in contributing to poverty reduction in sub-Sahara African countries is rather more
Rural Livelihoods and Poverty Reduction Strategies in Four African Countries
This paper compares and contrasts rural livelihoods in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania and Malawi, with a view to informing rural poverty reduction policies within Poverty Reduction Strategy Plans (PRSPs). Low household incomes in rural areas of all countries are associated with low land and livestock holdings, high reliance on food crop agriculture, and low monetisation of the rural economy. These adverse factors are in some instances made more difficul…
Developing Agricultural Trade
Food security is of vital importance to all nations, but particularly so in developing countries. Governments worldwide are seeking to liberalize agricultural trade, and to change their role from one of controlling trade and prices. Instead these governments seek new roles in encouraging market developments, ensuring quality and providing food security by giving income assistance rather than controlling food supplies. The issue of how this proces…
Can Public Marketing Agencies be Reformed?
Can public marketing agencies be reformed and play a productive role in developing agricultural markets, either by becoming competitive private firms or by providing public services beneficial to trade? Or is dissolution the only option when policy is to encourage market development? This chapter focuses on reform of public marketing agencies in liberalisation of agricultural marketing, principally in Zimbabwe, Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and Kenya, …

Evolving Themes in Rural Development 1950s‐2000s
This article provides a brief overview of the major switches in rural development thinking that have occurred over the past half‐century or so. Dominant and subsidiary themes are identified, as well as the co‐existence of different narratives running in parallel. The continuing success of the long‐running ‘small‐farm efficiency’ paradigm is highlighted. The article concludes by asking whether sustainable livelihoods approaches can be interpreted …

Agricultural marketing and peasant-state transfers in Tanzania
Examines the way in which the agricultural marketing system acted as a mechanism for transferring resources out of the rural economy in Tanzania over the period 1970 to 1980. Trends in the relationship between producer prices and sales prices of marketed crops are analyzed to generate an estimate of gross resource transfers from peasants to the state. The analysis also identifies the major forces, both internal and external to state marketing ins…

Prices and the Transformation of Peasant Agriculture
This contribution examines the relationship of agricultural price policy to changes put into effect in the organisation of the peasant economy in Tanzania during the 1970s. Attention is directed, within the wider context of peasant‐state relations in Tanzania, at the adverse consequences of declining real producer prices of agricultural crops for potential innovation in agricultural production.

Relative agricultural prices and the urban bias model
The paper critically examines agricultural price aspects of the urban bias model, especially the links between class interests, government policies, and the trend of real agricultural prices. The paper contains an analysis of the principal factors both economic and political underlying agriculture's terms of trade in two contrasting countries, Tanzania and Fiji. Both case studies, in different ways, raise doubts about the generality of urban bias…

Small-Farm Sugar Production in Fiji
The sugar industry in Fiji shows that export crop production can satisfy equity criteria without sacrificing efficiency, growth or rising real incomes. This beneficial outcome results from a small?farm structure maintained by government leasing of land; employment intensity linked to the prohibition of mechanical cane harvesting technology; and a high grower share in sales revenue, assured by the high degree of grower participation in policy?maki…

The Rice Market and its Management in Indonesia
This article proyides a brief overview of trends and policies underlying the Indonesian ‘success story’ of rice production in the 1970s and 1980s. It examines key issues of future policy emerging towards the end of the 1980s. It suggests policy adjustments required for Indonesia broadly to maintain rice self-sufficiency, at stable real rice prices, while reducing the government budgetary costs of rice market interventions

Rice Marketing in Indonesia
This paper summarises the methodology, results and lessons of a research program undertaken between 1989 and 1991 on the private rice marketing system in Indonesia. A method of linked interviews, starting from farmers, gave results in the two main areas of seasonal volume flows and competition in rice marketing channels. Sample survey results were used to interpret seasonality in the aggregate rice market It is concluded that price stabilisation …
Political correctness in Britain
I deology offers f r eedom f rom doubt , a focal point for the disaffected, a refuge f rom reason. Thus, (PC) is not a complete stranger in the history of ideas. Behind the rainbow-colored mask lurks a familiar and de fo rmed face. Orwell did not use the appellation political correctness in his analysis o f language and ideology, yet the principles of Newspeak clearly anticipate some of the main trends and consequences of the platform. Likewise, …
