On August 28, Dr. Caroline Hambloch, leader of the DFG Emmy Noether Junior Research Group: Local labor struggles in global value chains, and Dr. Freedom Mazwi, TWAS-DFG Visiting Fellow at the University of Bonn, presented their preliminary research findings on labor control and agency in Tobacco contract farming in Zimbabwe at the Panel: Market Power & Value Chains at the18. European Association of Agricultural Economists (EAAE) Congress in Bonn. The research builds on fieldwork conducted in Zvimba district between 2024 and 2025 and identifies forms of control embedded in contract relations, and the methods and limitations through which smallholders challenge their subordinate inclusion and exploitation in tobacco value chains.
