Abstract:One of the main components in the structural adjustment programmes being introduced in Africa is that of agricultural price policy. This usually involves rises in producer prices, price deregulation or the tying of domestic producer prices more closely to international prices, or a mix of these approaches. Mozambique is currently being subjected to a virulent version of structural adjustment involving these types of price policy changes, while in the midst of a destabilization war, and despite an already much weakened economy. This article looks at the development of agricultural pricing policy in Mozambique and the application of price policy changes under structural adjustment and draws out some of the points to be learned from the experience.
