Abstract

The push for liberalisation in agricultural markets in developing countries is part of a more general move to reduce the extent of direct government involvement in the provision of goods and services and in regulating markets. This has been evident in the privatisation programmes implemented in the UK and in the movement towards economic liberalisation in a number of Eastern European countries. In Africa it has been pressed on governments, usually as part of a World Bank/IMF-funded Structural Adjustment Programme, to increase the responsiveness of the economy to external economic conditions and, of most interest to this Chapter, to remove a perceived burden on the agricultural sectors of the countries concerned.
