2	Globalization and local development : does a peasant farmer in Marera in Mozambique benefit from trade liberalization? Gebala, Piotr Antoni 12 1900 (has links) Mozambique is one of the poorest countries in the world, with most of its population living in rural areas. The study analysed the impact of trade liberalization on peasant farmers involved in fruit production in Marera in Central Mozambique and measured their benefits and life improvements as compared with the decade of the 1990s. It found that 73.3% of peasant farmers assess their life as little better than 10-15 years ago and only 5.6% have experienced substantial improvements. It was discovered that better knowledge and access to productive resources play a role in improving benefits from fruit production and trade. Therefore, the study concluded that although trade liberalization can bring benefits, when appropriate conditions are met, peasant farmers in Marera are not different from their counterparts around the world and benefit little from trade liberalization. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Mozambique Trade liberalization Peasant farmers Fruit production Agriculture Globalization Benefits from trade Marera Financial assets Development 338.17409679 Globalization -- Mozambique Free trade -- Mozambique Peasants -- Mozambique Fruit trade -- Mozambique Economic development -- Mozambique

4	Impact of trade liberalization on food security in Mozambique Laweki, Lawe 01 1900 (has links) This study investigates the impact of trade liberalization on food security at both national and rural household levels in Mozambique. Three periods are covered at national level: before trade reforms (1975-1986), after reforms under IMF/WB’s (International Monetary Fund/World Bank’s) period (1987-1994), and after reforms under IMF/WB/WTO’s (World Trade Organization’s) period (1995-2014). The researcher adopted the conceptual framework developed by the FAO (2003:235) according to which a country’s food security status can be influenced by diverse factors, including trade liberalization, through changes in relative prices, in quantities produced and consumed, and in trade volumes. At national level, the evidence suggests that trade liberalization’s impact on food security is both positive and negative. At rural household level, the empirical findings suggest that trade liberalization has no significant impact, either positive or negative, on households’ food security due mainly to poor infrastructure, households’ high dependence on subsistence farming and their lack of purchasing power. / Development Studies / M.A. (Development Studies) Agricultural trade liberalization Food security Droughts Coping strategies International Monetary Fund World Bank World Trade Organization Multinational Corporations Kambulatsitsi Mozambique 338.19679 Food security -- Mozambique Food industry and trade -- Mozambique Free trade -- Mozambique
