Abstract
ABSTRACT Debates about the capacity of migratory remittances to enhance food security abound. This article examines the impact of remittances in shaping agricultural production and asset accumulation patterns in Zimbabwe. Using empirical evidence drawn from a sample of 1,090 households and anchored in a political economy conceptual framework, we posit that remittances do not automatically stimulate food security and asset accumulation. Massive deteriorating conditions of work and the growing economic crisis under contemporary capitalism constrain the capacity of remittances to enhance agricultural production.The article contends during times of crises- remittances are used to meet basic needs than propel agrarian development.
