  1. Land Markets and Alternative Production Models Presenter: Mike Roth Best Practices for Land Tenure and Natural Resource Governance in Africa Monrovia, Liberia October 2012

  2. Policy Domain—Land Reform to Consolidation • Land and agrarian reform in Southern Africa • Privatization and farm restructuring in Eastern Europe and Former Soviet Union • Break up of State farms/landholdings Break-up of Large Scale Holdings Management of Common Pool Resources • Management of fauna and wildlife in Kenya, Namibia and South Africa • Certain farm worker equity share schemes in South Africa • Small holders leasing out land to private investors, Ethiopia • Land use consolidation, Rwanda • Linking small holders with investors, Mozambique, Angola Consolidation/ Management of Small Fragmented Landholdings

  3. Alternative Tenure Forms • Freehold property • Leasehold property • Rental/sharecropping • Customary Land Tenure • Contract Farming • Trusts/Conservancies • Common Property Associations/Community Demarcations • Community Based NRM • Agricultural Production Cooperative (APC) • Conservancies/Trusts • Company • Equity Sharing Model • Co-management

  4. Model Challenges • Incentivized Owners/Workers– Incentives to work the land; ability to monitor and supervise labor • Capital Intensity –Capital is mobile; voting rights and dividends are proportional to investment; land and assets serviceable as collateral; credit available • Economies of Scale – Ability to manage lumpy inputs; net income/ha increases with landholding size • Market Coordination –horizontal, upstream, downstream

  5. Models and Property Rights • Property rights typically range from poor to good within each type of model complicating performance assessment • Organization features (governance, management) of corporate models are also highly variable • Long learning curve for corporate models – time is required for new beneficiaries to gain capacity • Property rights not mentioned as a challenge: • Having strong property rights and organizational features is essential for achieving high performance across all models

  6. Tenure Model: Individualization Performance Challenges Complementary Policies to Improve Performance:

  7. Tenure Model: Community Demarcation Performance Challenges Complementary Policies to Improve Performance:

  8. Tenure Model: Enabling Land Rental Markets Performance Challenges Complementary Policies to Improve Performance:

  9. Institutional Arrangements for Successful Group Farming: Objectives • Encourage ownership & empower decision making • Increase (sometimes redistribute) wealth and future benefit streams • Empower farmworkers • Retain or attract quality management • Source capital from the private sector • Improve worker productivity & labor relations • Grow wealth and create wages, profit and dividends

  10. Tenure Model: Cooperatives Performance Challenges Complementary Policies to Improve Performance:

  11. Tenure Model: Company or FWES Model Performance Challenges Complementary Policies to Improve Performance:

  12. Take Aways • No single best alternative model. Property rights range from poor to good within each • All models can achieve good performance in the right context especially if property rights and organizational features are provided • Certain models (APCs) consistently have poor performance • Focus on first things first: individualization and land markets • Corporate models require considerable facilitation of communities to build capacity and involve outside investors • Promote a diversified agrarian structure. Aim public support at encouraging evolution, and providing complementary policy support. Be gradual • Be wary of recurrent public costs
