ABSTRACT
The analysis of the preceding chapters indicated that the great interest in agriculture of Guruuswa farmers has given rise to several voluntary agricultural associations in that purchase area and that these, in turn, gave Guruuswa its peculiar structural characteristics which make it different from Mutadza purchase area whose peasant farmers are less interested in agriculture. I suggested that the more stringent selection procedure in Guruuswa may have been partly responsible for attracting a more progressive type of peasant farmer to that community.
