Abstract
dc:description.abstractThis study traces the evolution of the wheat industry in Zimbabwe and draws historical lessons for a food policy aimed at self-sufficiency in wheat. An activity analysis approach to the problem of wheat production is presented. The approach employs questionnaire survey data to construct wheat enterprise budgets. The budgets as well as direct statistical tests are discussed as means of evaluating hypotheses on resource use. The study suggests that economies of size exist in wheat production in Zimbabwe.
