المحتوى

smallholders (70%) do not own the mechanical equipment they
use in their farming activity. Only a fifth of smallholders
do not hire some or all of their mechanised equipment. (See
Tables 1 and 2 in Appendix 5) However, this does not present
amajor problem and, unlike sharecroppers, smallholders are
solely responsible for maintaining access and ownership to
all of their means of production.
Economic Control of the Means of Production
In the smallholding form of production the household has real
economic control over all aspects of the labour process and
the production of agricultural use-values. The smallholding
household directs and manages the labour input of the family
workforce. It decides what agricultural commodities will be
produced and decides what plants, tools and machinery will be
utilised in the production process. All. aspects of the
"managerial control" and economic ownership of the labour
Process are thus under the direct control of the peasant
household itself.
Form of Appropriation of the Surplus Product
Since the smallholding form of production has complete legal
ownership and real economic control over all aspects of the
Production process, there is no method of legitimating the
appropriation of the surplus product from the labour process
to aonon-producer. The smallholding household does not have
any of its surplus product appropriated inside the production
