‘Ownership’ of land is a perception for most producers
More than 90% producers claim land ownership although less than 10% have title deeds
Most producers use more land than they ‘own’; Lack of capital affects productivity for 1 in 5
Dont use all the land they own - land not arable or not enough water
Dont use all the land they own - lack capital to use all the land
Dont use all the land they own - use some for nonagri purposes
Dont use all the land they own - use the rest for other farming activities or rotation
Use more land than own
