This study contributes to this literature, firstly, by suggesting a novel analytical framework for analysing inequality and exploitation and the agency of actors within an unequal value-chain relationship; and secondly, by applying it to the relationship between rice millers and rice farmers in Gulu in northern Uganda, i.e., to one node in a larger rice value chain. This study explores this relationship in a situation of high levels of competition between millers, potentially strengthening farmers' bargaining power. The form and degree of inequality and exploitation in the relationship are analytically disentangled by applying the analytical framework, combining Graeber's conceptualization of exchange and hierarchy with Snyder's definitions of exploitation. The study shows that, although the relationship is still characterized by inequality and has exploitative features, farmers can and do exit from the relationship.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.70090","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324168","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It examines the transformation of the agricultural machinery service (AMS) system in a grain-production region in China, focusing on its response to the rapid expansion of large-scale producers and the accelerated machinery renewal. It argues that the interplay between the scaling up of agricultural production, state intervention and capital influx has shifted the AMS market from an informal structure to one characterized by capitalization and specialization. This transformation has directly and indirectly compelled smallholders to withdraw from agricultural production. This study further demonstrates that the ‘simple reproduction squeeze’ faced by smallholders may not solely be a result of rising production costs but also stems from the dismantling of the support systems that previously sustained the reproduction of smallholder farming.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.70052","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In recent years, agro-industrial parks with ‘characteristic’ industries have proliferated in China as the government viewed it as a technical solution to problems of declining grain security and land use inefficiency. Comparing these enclosures with previous waves of expropriation for industrial and real estate development, this paper argues that enclosures for agro-industrialization evince a specific logic of state intervention, which in turn shapes the mechanisms of land assembly and the politics of counter-enclosure engendered.

Yet, in agrarian contexts shaped by long-standing neoliberal labour regimes, this expectation often remains unmet. This article examines why paid work fails to translate into redistribution of unpaid work within households, drawing on qualitative interviews with women in rural central Chile. Using Agarwal's cooperative–conflict framework, the analysis assesses bargaining power through observable household outcomes, focusing on the organization of unpaid domestic and care work. The findings show that paid work does not strengthen bargaining power unless it alters the organization of social reproduction within the household. Bargaining capacity operates through embodied and temporal mechanisms: The physical depletion and time rigidity associated with insecure and physically demanding employment arrangements undermine women's ability to pursue and sustain redistribution, even when they explicitly ask their partners for greater support with domestic and care work. Redistribution emerges as a fragile outcome that depends on specific configurations of social reproduction, including time control, lower caregiving intensity and the social legitimation of women's paid work and time priorities. By centring unpaid domestic and care work as the primary observable outcome of intra-household bargaining, the study offers a relational and temporally grounded reconceptualization of empowerment in agrarian labour regimes.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"26 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.70078","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148324274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Centering social reproduction, we argue that transitions to agri-alternatives are contested processes whereby farmers renegotiate productive and reproductive agrarian relations amidst uneven risks. Drawing on ethnographic insights from India, we contribute to feminist theorisation on the calculus guiding farmers' practices in two ways.

Focusing on Croatia, I undertake a critical discourse analysis of the national agricultural strategies enacted during the neoliberal transition between 1991 and 2013. I find that the state discursively legitimised the emergence and consolidation of the current food regime through two dominant tactics: (1) the collective diagnostic framing of peasants, family farmers and socialist agriculture as the ‘problem’ and (2) the deployment of ostensibly ‘rational’ language. Presenting a sociopolitical history of Croatia's neoliberal transition, I argue that the principal material beneficiaries of the state-legitimised food regime have predominantly been the political and economic elite of the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ), who rose to power during the corrupt privatisations of socialist-era enterprises in the 1990s and set Croatia on a path of clientelism and criminality. Today, Croatia exists as a small, globally integrated state of negligible political sway that is effectively captured by a single dominant political party. The novel dynamics of this situation in the agricultural sector do not easily fit within existing food regime conceptualisations.</p>","PeriodicalId":47678,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Agrarian Change","volume":"26 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2026-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/joac.70066","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147567662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
