The paper focusses on the producers, the processors and the consumers in both the maize and the beef sectors of a market regulated by marketing boards. For the beef sector the conclusion is that more research is needed to assess the cost of production in various farming systems to assist government in formulating appropriate policy. For the maize sector, the study concludes that, given the limited access of small scale farmers to credit, there is need for an improvement in extension services to enable small-scale producers and processors to respond to the advantages afforded by market liberalisation
