| Abstract |
This report looks at the impact of the present regional food shortages, which are worse then that of the early 1990s due to the continuing impact of HIV/AIDS, the increased rural poverty because of economic liberalisation, and the political and economic crisis in Zimbabwe - which is at the heart of potential famine in southern Africa. It seems beyond argument that the spiralling decline of the Zimbabwean economy and agricultural production will continue. If this is accompanied once again by unfavourable rains, then the country will find itself in a similar position, if not worse, as it waits, not just for the 2003 but for the 2004 harvest.
