Publisher's Synopsis
Most African countries have experienced dramatic agricultural market reforms over recent years. This has resulted in significant changes in the operation of the agricultural markets and consequently, in income generation and welfare of rural households. In the case of Madagascar, the results suggest that market reforms and corresponding adjustments in rural markets have had an average positive effect on food security for the rural households. However, richer households seemed to have benefited more than the poorer households. This study will be of particular interest to economists and those involved in development and environmental issues. -
