This paper asks whether discrimination against agriculture in Sub-Saharan Africa continues to characterize the region despite the widespread adoption of structural adjustment programs. It covers the period 1975 to 1998. The paper finds that the taxation of export crops has grown less severe but is still significant in most producing countries, and that progress in eliminating macroeconomic distortions has differed enormously between countries, with slightly positive trends overall.
