In: Research Paper, No. 25

Abstract

This report centres on two case studies concerning contract farming arrangements between growers and buyers in Swaziland. It also mentions the most important aspects of the economy and land tenure system briefly. The performance of the two schemes is evaluated and problems with replicating these contract farming schemes elsewhere are pointed out. (DÜI-Kst)
