This section analyses the shifts in access to resources and agricultural policies that took place in North Africa in the post-colonial era, in order to better understand the transformation of the agricultural economy and the dominant development model in the region over time. In 1962, for example, the National Institute of Agricultural Research was established with the aim of modernizing the agricultural sector. In Morocco, the neoliberal transformation in the agricultural sector intensified in 2003. Relationships of unequal exchange in the global system underpin the agricultural crisis in North Africa. In sum, these agricultural policies and practices have created another form of dualism.
