在过去的20年里,南部非洲的食糖生产的特点是地理上的分散和(以前的)南非食糖资本的高度集中。本文认为,在该地区的企业积累的轮廓的关键变化可以通过两组相互作用的变量所产生的动态来解释:(一)不断变化的生产力的制糖业和甘蔗种植,以及它们之间的相互作用,(二)改变价格和交换条件,由重商主义政治。在Illovo Sugar的案例中,应用了一种用于数据分析的算术模型。它表明,马拉维的高利润是由于有利的商业和生产力特点;莫桑比克的利润完全来自重商主义;坦桑尼亚、斯威士兰、特别是赞比亚的相对盈利能力归功于特别高的生产力水平,而伊洛沃的原籍国南非在商业和生产力方面的利润都很低。这些差异植根于价值关系,这是理解糖积累的核心。本文认为,虽然糖的逻辑有点独特,这里采用的方法来分析积累有更广泛的应用。
Over the last 20 years sugar production in southern Africa has been characterised by both the geographic dispersal and the heightened concentration of (formerly) South African sugar capital. This paper argues that key variations in the contours of corporate accumulation in the region can be explained through dynamics generated by two sets of interacting variables: (i) the changing productivity of sugar manufacturing and sugar cane cultivation, and the interaction between them, and (ii) shifting terms of pricing and exchange, as governed by mercantile politics. An arithmetic model for the analysis of data is applied in the case of Illovo Sugar. It shows that high profits in Malawi are due to both favourable mercantile and productivity features; that Mozambican profits come exclusively from mercantilism; that Tanzania, Swaziland and especially Zambia owe their relative profitability to particularly high levels of productivity, and that South Africa, Illovo’s country of origin, receives low profits in both mercantile and productivity terms. These differences are rooted in value relations, which are core to understanding accumulation in sugar. The paper argues that, although the logic of sugar is somewhat unique, the approach to the analysis of accumulation adopted here has wider application.
