Trenton, New Jersey: Africa World Press, March 1984. Trade Paperback. First American Edition (stated). Fine. Interior unmarked. Spine straight, tight, and uncreased. Light shelfwear to covers. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. 224 pages.

The first detailed analysis of the role of big business in Africa's agriculture. It exposes the activities of foreign companies in the diversion of much of Africa's food potential to the cash crop demands of Europe. Most aspects of company activity are illustrated with examples and there is a detailed description of trade and investment in coffee, sugar and the newer luxury crops such as flowers and vegetables. The attitude of the governments of Tanzania and Kenya towards agribusiness investment are contrasted and the book ends with a look at perhaps the most ominous of recent developments: Africa's increasing dependence on transnational supplied, large scale food production schemes.
