ABSTRACT
The changing agrarian sector initiated by the fast-track land reform in Zimbabwe incited one major expectation; to transform export-oriented agricultural production out of enclavity. This anticipation echoes the enduring quest for economic independence after almost a century of colonial domination and decades of economic slavery by the global capitalist system. The 2000 fast track land reform programme offered prospects for restructuring the agrarian sector into an integrated unit of the entire economy to eschew economic disarticulation. Using post land reform coffee revival strategies, this chapter analyses the significance of the land reform in shaping the agrarian sector out of economic disarticulation. The chapter mainly focuses on how the clamour for economic freedom was maintained throughout the agricultural revival strategies and the impact thereof on the enclavity of export-oriented sectors. The chapter argues that until 2017 the coffee sector remained disarticulated. However, from the year 2018, the Nespresso-led coffee revolution became a major stepping stone for the coffee sector to escape enclavity.
