Abstract

Several studies on the promotion of ‘non-traditional’ exports in LDCs have examined the deleterious consequences on the predominantly female workers in export-processing zones.2 There has been less systematic research, however, on the effects of agricultural-export expansion on women.3 This is despite the fact that the majority of women in developing countries live in rural areas where the push for export-oriented growth is taking place as well (Quisumbing, 1988; Heyzer, 1986). This paper attempts to fill this gap in the literature by examining how agricultural commercialisation, as a result of export cropping, has affected rural women — both as workers and as family members.
