The first part of this book provides a description and analysis of agriculture in the Zairian economy. This begins with a focus of agricultural production, then considers economic factors (the importance of agriculture in the Zairian economy as well as the influence of broader macroeconomic policies on agricultural development), and concludes with an examination of the institutions (public, including donor organizations, as well as private) relevant to Zaire's agricultural sector. The second part focuses on the agricultural development of Zaire, beginning first with a review and analysis of the principal constraints on Zaire's agricultural sector. This is followed by a number of policy recommendations oriented to both the Government of Zaire and donor organizations, flowing from the earlier analyses, and seeking to promote sustainable agricultural growth and development in Zaire.
This study evaluates the state-initiated policies in post-1965 Zaire and their impact on the people. Although the state has accorded priority to the socioeconomic development of the agricultural and rural sector, that objective, the author claims, has been political, not socioeconomic. Over time conventional indicators show that the sector has not received sufficient financial support and has lacked the political will to obtain the assigned goals. The study also examines the nature of the state in Zaire and calls for the mastery of the state as the sine qua non without which Zaire will remain in its present state of underdevelopment.
