摘要：

The adoption of irrigated commercial sugarcane farming by Swazi smallholders has bad a mixed effect on food security. A major factor is the differing managerial and financial skills of the individual farmers associations. The long-run prospects are potentially problematic due to a decline in sugar prices, particularly in the EU which, at present, is Swaziland's main overseas market.
