of their land. It appears from these figures that the most
consistently exploited agrarian class groups were more
involved in intensive farming techniques than any other
class. This would seem to further support the thesis that
sharecropping compacts are avery rational mechanism of
exploitation and means of extracting surplus product from
peasant households.
VI. INDIVIDUAL CROPPING PATTERNS OF VEGETABLE CROPS
In this section I will attempt to describe statistically the
area of vegetable crop under production according to the crop
area and the distribution of land given over to the crop in
question by individual peasant households.
The data on tomato production show that 84% of all peasant
farmers produced tomatoes and moreover, more peasant farmers
produced tomatoes than any other crop (see Table 60). The
area of tomatoes produced by the peasantry ranged in size
from 1-94 dunums per farm unit. The most common area of
production was 5-9 dunums while the average area of
production was 10.8 dunums. Thus, tomato production was
generally skewed toward the lower end of the range.
If we look at the agrarian class dimension of the cropping
pattern of tomatoes, the data show that 96% of all
sharecropping households, 89% of cash tenant households, 72%
of smallholding households, 57% of farming—-landlord
households and 19% of farming-shepherd households produced
