Title Collective action and reaction: Market-based groundnut
development in Malawi [ICRISAT Eastern and Southern Africa 2011 Highlights]
 
Creator ICRISAT, ESA
 
Subject Groundnut
 
Description Malawian folklore says that if you steal another
farmer’s crop, your feet will freeze in his fi elds. You
would have to wait there for all to know of your
misdeed until your kinsmen came to free you by
paying some form of compensation. It may have
been as a result of stories such as these, or maybe
it is because Malawians are by nature honest
and friendly, but it used to be rare for crops to
be stolen in this country – until this year when
newspapers have started reporting stories of
thieves reaping harvests that they did not sow.
