Farmers, labourers and the company: Exploring relationships on a Transkei contract farming scheme
研究了南非前特兰斯凯地区一个糖业合同农业计划中公司、农户和劳工之间的关系与紧张局势，强调土地问题的复杂性及全面评估合同计划的重要性。
This article explores relationships and tensions on a sugar contract farming scheme in the former homeland of Transkei, just after the elections which returned Transkei constitutionally to South Africa. Company, outgrower and labour perceptions of current issues are presented. The relevance of the findings for the debates about contract farming in Africa and about land in South Africa is considered. The study firstly emphasises the complexity of the land issue even in the former homelands of South Africa and, secondly, shows the importance of examining contract schemes in their totality; to base evaluation on the outgrower component alone is insufficient.
