Narratives of Agricultural Policy in Africa: What Role for Ministries of Agriculture?

Author: 
Cabral, L.; Scoones, I.

The political and institutional dimensions of policy formulation and implementation are key determinants of the feasibility of technical policy prescriptions. This paper explores how policy narratives on the role of the state in agriculture have influenced and defined the role of ministries of agriculture in Africa. Three current narratives are identified within academic and donor circles - 'free-market', 'coordinated-market' and 'embedded-market'. Each has distinct implications for what ministries of agriculture are expected to do.
