© 2019, © 2019 ROAPE Publications Ltd. Small family farmers aim to secure food through own production, and the surplus is only sold to finance productive and reproductive investments. The Fast Track Land Reform programme (FTLRP) caused a dramatic increase in the number of family farms, with approximately 180,000 families being resettled on 70% of agricultural land previously held by about 4500 commercial white farmers. This increased demand for agricultural capital goods, thus putting pressure on the under-resourced government of Zimbabwe, which had to provide inputs considering the FTLRP and capital outflows induced by the economic meltdown. The study tracks and maps out the position of family farmers in Zimbabwe with respect to the agricultural inputs and outputs markets over 15 years of land reform implementation. Specifically, the study utilises the SMAIAS 2013–14 Household Survey to calculate commercialisation indices for major agricultural crops in Zimbabwe. Commercialisation involves the creation of mechanisms that encourage farmers’ active participation and integration in the commodity markets. The survey results show that participation is found to be highly differentiated, with small-scale producers participating the least. More farmers were more active in the inputs markets than they were in the outputs markets, thus implying a perennial reduction of farmers’ incomes and productive asset investment capacity. Additionally, the study provides structural transformative policy alternatives for improving production and rural household income to reduce poverty.

Rights to land have changed hands several times across Zimbabwe's racial, class, socioeconomic, and political divides over the past century. This has occurred through greatly varying mechanisms, depending more on sociopolitical power dynamics and less on the supply and demand of land. Discussion of agricultural land-delivery systems in Zimbabwe requires an understanding of the deeply embedded socioeconomic and political factors that have driven supply and demand of agrarian land. This paper examines Professor Sam Moyo's work on the evolution of land markets from the pre-independence era through the 2000s to the development of the new emerging land-market transactions in the countryside. Moyo's work shows how the state-led land-delivery system reconfigured the agrarian structure, changing it from a bimodal to a trimodal system. Giving due consideration to the different economic models that have been pursued by the Government of Zimbabwe since independence, and investigating how these have shaped power relations with regard to land, we attempt, from a political economy perspective, to develop an understanding of the land-reform program. Moyo's work on Zimbabwe's land markets shows how market-based approaches to land redistribution will always be inadequate for addressing social and historical injustices, because they favor capital at the expense of the peasantry. This article utilizes a tri-modal agrarian structure to analyze recent data from a 2013–2015 survey conducted by Sam Moyo Agrarian Institute for Agrarian Studies (SMAIAS). These data support Moyo's arguments: for example, that the pressure for Fast Track Land Reform Program (FTLRP) emanated from below, and that a spectrum of beneficiaries, outside the usual political elite, accessed land. Data analyses revealed continued demand for land from both local (informal markets) and international (large land deals) players, further substantiating Moyo's claim that there remains an unresolved land question in Zimbabwe.

This paper analyses the impacts of integrating global south agricultural producers into the global markets through a case study of sugar outgrowers in Zimbabwe. The paper observes that the changed agrarian structure following the Fast Track Land Reform in Zimbabwe has reconfigured the agricultural finance system as private commercial banks are now using plantation estates as conduits to provide loans to sugar outgrowers. Contractual arrangements between sugar outgrowers and plantation estates are mainly for production and marketing. The paper also finds agrarian relations to be iniquitous and exploitative largely in favor of plantation estates. Indeed, though constrained, capital formation has been an ongoing process among outgrowers and we argue that it is dependent in nature because of its reliance on credit provided by the plantation estate. Incomes derived from sugar production have mainly been channeled towards the purchase of agricultural inputs as well as the payment of milling charges. The study is premised on two sugar estates in Chiredzi, owned by a South African based transnational company. Primary data was collected using questionnaires on 50 outgrowers who are working with Tongaat Hulett, as well as through-in-depth interviews with key informants. The methodology involved thorough verification exercises which included respondent re-visits before being entered into CS-Pro for further cleaning then exported to SPSS for analysis
