Abstract

The desire to understand the effects of smallholder:JVC cash-cropping was the motivation of a socioeconomic study conducted in Nampula and Cabo Delgado Provinces by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries/Michigan State University Food Security Project (MAP/MSU FSP) from 1994 to 1996. More than 500 rural households from across the North's cotton belt were surveyed at four month intervals during this period. A stratified random sample was drawn in the area of influence of each JVC, as well as a sample of farmers in an adjacent non-JVC area designed to include households involved in the range of cotton technology systems in the zone (high-input block, high-input dispersed, low-input block and low-input dispersed).
