commodity production for market sales. The separation of male
and female spheres of autonomous agricultural production and
land control thus begins to break down once the peasant
household becomes entirely engaged in generalised commodity
production.
However, although women's autonomous agricultural subsistence
production becomes integrated with generalised commodity
production, women still play akey role as subsistence

does not just refer to the growing of crops for purely
household subsistence consumption, but includes the
production, preserving and manufacturing of foodstuffs from
raw materials and a whole series of other necessary household
tasks which are largely undertaken by women. We find that
women in the region still play a key role as subsistence

consumed daily is either produced on the farm or produced in
