numerical class unit widths of 5 dunums. This data show that
just over four-fifths of all landholders, except farming-—
landlords (who are excluded from this table), have holdings
of under 45 dunums and two-fifths have holdings of under 20
dunums.
If we consider the differential landholding patterns among
different forms of landholding we find that the average
smallholding is 19 dunums, the average cash rental is 34
dunums and the average share-rental is 23 dunums. The most
common size of smallholding is 10-14 dunums, the most common
cash rental is 5-9 dunums and the most common share-rental is
20-24 dunums. Moreover, more than a third of both
smallholdings and cash rentals and over a quarter of share-
rentals are holdings of less than 15 dunums. Almost half of
both smallholding and cash rentals and only two-fifths of
share-rentals are under 20 dunums in area. Furthermore,
share-rentals are relatively more common in the ranges over
25 dunums than either smallholdings or cash rentals. However,
we should not be particularly surprised at this fact,
especially when compared with smallholding, since we should
bear in mind the fact that sharecroppers are divested most
commonly of 50% of their produce in the form of the _ rental
payment they make to their landlord.
For an average sharecropping household to maintain income
parity with a comparable smallholding household the
sharecropping household would, ceterus paribus, have to farm
twice as much land as the comparable smallholding household.
