Abstract

This paper uses information on rural households in 18 districts surveyed in 1997 and again in 1998 to inform current debate on maize pricing and trade policy. Specifically, it determines how farm households are being affected by governmental efforts to support maize price levels. It then examines the implications of these findings for the development of strategies to promote agricultural productivity and rural income growth.
