| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to make clear the impact of the Structual Adjustment Programs on Tanzanian peasant society. Structual Adjustment Programs were introduced to many African countries by the World Bank at the end of 1980's. In Tanzania, the government signed an agreement with IMF in 1986.
After that, Economic Recovery Programs (ERP : 1986-1989) and Econimic and Social Action Programs (ERP2 : 1990-) were introduced. These two Programs introduced a market economy system into the Tanzanian food production economy. Many Tanzanian rural societies are radically being changed by these programs.
We chose six different rural villages in Tanzania in which we measured fields, conducted questionnaires and interviews. Four of the six villages are in the Morogoro Region, one is in the Iringa Region, and the other is in the Moshi Region. In this paper, we illustrate the importance in the selected farming communities of the informal creditsystem among small farmers and the organization of the informal credit market. Second, we show the impact of market liberalization on the farmers' decisions concerning field expansion.
Third, we describe the new food traders, who are farmers in the local villages.
Finally, we illustrate the socio-cultural change in the old paddy field agricultural system and compare it with the modern paddy field agricultural system.
