Abstract: | The problem of food scarcity cannot be isolated from the general problem of poverty of East African countries. This article concentrates on the limited time-span 1974-1980. Since 1974 (the year of the World Food Conference in Rome) the situation has changed rapidly in East Africa: governments have become more conscious of the need to intervene on food policy, whereas the struggle of the peasants, if anything, has intenasified. Sections: Introduction - Historical roots of the food crisis - Movement of international capital from food trade into food production - The essence of the problem restated - The case of Kenya - The case of Tanzania - Conclusion.
