History - Africa

This essay gives reason behind the description of the development of settler agriculture in Southern Rhodesia between the period of 1908 to 1914 as the phase of white agricultural policy.

“The period between 1906 to 1923 six major factors together boosted capitalist agriculture, so much so that by the close of the second decade of the 20th century settler agriculture had reached a level of self-sufficiency.” This period can also be said to be the period when white settler agriculture was developed and peasant agriculture’s development was completely abandoned. Many scholars have attributed this development of white settler agriculture during this period to have been perpetuated by the policies set up by the British South Africa Company from 1918 to 1923.
