dc.descriptionContract farming, has in one form or another, been practiced since time immemorial and is a common feature of commercializing agriculture in developing countries as well as in developed countries. Its pre-eminence in developing countries is attributed to a response in the trend towards coordination of agricultural production and processing by agribusiness companies, and what some refer to as the “supermarketisation of food production. It is widely acknowledged that contract farming has considera ble potential in countries where smallholder agriculture is widespread, and where agricultural processing and export enterprises are being promoted, as indeed, is the case in Zimbabwe and most countries in the southern African region.
