Optimality and Production Efficiency of Some Cropsharing Systems

Abstract

Cropsharing tenancy is a common form of production organisation in peasant agriculture. The sharing arrangement may assume a number of forms depending on how inputs and outputs are divided between the respective parties to the arrangement. Thus, under one form, the parties (or a decision entity on their behalf) may deliberately seek to optimise the factor inputs and resources available to them, including the tenant's labour, in order to maximise output and pay the contracting parties their respective returns. This form is known as the Joint Account System (JAS).
