| Abstract: | Results of an earlier research and recent data are collected locally to examine the position of petty rice producers in the Muda region of Malaysia. Although land concentration and landlessness are increasing, tiny holdings have proved remarkably resilient. The survival of the producers is explained at a time of major changes in the organization of agricultural production through an analysis of the institutional arrangements governing labour deployment and access to resources within and among households. It is shown how these mechanisms can both reflect and alter macro-economic and political forces. |
