The impact of economic liberalisation on the spatial patterns of peasant crop farming in Zambia since 1991 : the case of Chibombo District in central ZambiaMalambo, Augrey Hicigaali 30 November 1999 (has links)
This is a comparative study of the spatial patterns of peasant crop farming in
Chibombo District between the 1980s and the 1990s. The study lists and
discusses the agricultural support system, communication infrastructure and the
crop production and patterns of the 1980s within the environment of centralised
planning and then compares these to the structures and patterns of the 1990s in
an atmosphere of economic liberalisation. This comparison in crop production,
cropping patterns, institutional support systems and the communication
infrastructure in five sampled farming wards of Chibombo District, leads to the
conclusion that there is a marked change in the structures and patterns of the
1990s from those of the 1980s. Thus, in Chibombo District, the state of the
communication infrastructure in the 1990s is generally poorer than the
communication infrastructure of the 1980s, the agricultural support system of the
1990s is largely privately owned and found in fewer farming areas while the
agricultural support system of the 1980s was state controlled and more widely
spread, and crop patterns in some farming wards are different in the 1990s from
those of the 1980s. In the 1990s, crop production in farming wards with a
supportive environment has increased than it was in the 1980s but decreased in
those where a conducive environment lacks. In this line, the study makes
several recommendations for consideration on how to mitigate the problems that
the peasant farmers are facing or how to enhance the positive changes that
have occurred in Chibombo District. / Geography / M.A. (Geography)
