This is a comprehensive survey of how government policies have affected agricultural performance in Zimbabwe since independence in 1980. The government helped smallholders triple their grain sales in the early 1980s, but left the country vulnerable to drought, leading to emergency food aid imports in 1992. The experience of Zimbabwe offers valuable lessons not only for South Africa, but for all countries struggling to find an appropriate role for government in agriculture during the 1990s.
WILLIAM A. MASTERS is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Agricultural Economics at Purdue University. He has worked extensively in Zimbabwe since 1985, and was a research associate at the University of Zimbabwe in 1988-1990.
