The withdwal of the Maize Board in 1996 meant that farmers could no longer rely on their pre-planting price or "voorskat" for price discovery and price risk management. Some have claimed (UNCTAD, 2007) that the South African Futures Exchange (SAFEX) can provide these functions. We test this claim and analyse the impliacation of it. 2015-07-14T08:43:45Z 2015-07-14T08:43:45Z 2010 Master Thesis Masters MSocSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/13425 eng application/pdf School of Economics Faculty of Commerce University of Cape Town
