The small holder irrigation schemes have been existing in Zimbabwe for the best part of 50 years. Their establishment was geared initially towards providing food security in low rainfall areas, thus reducing or minimizing inter-regional maize transfers. These schemes can be said to have served a well- deserved purpose, except that there was no parallel development of the farmer to enable a complete take-over of the schemes through aself-sustained management system. The result has been that irrigation schemes in communal areas and indeed the irrigators themselves have remained dependent on government's support. There has thus been a noticeable lack of personal commitment and innovativeness.

This paper discusses crops grown on small holder irrigation schemes in Zimbabwe. Differences in cropping patterns exist between various types and provinces. The diversity of these cropping patterns are shown by province and differences in yields and cropping intensities discussed. The paper presents data showing productivity of schemes at national level. These data also show levels of formal marketing of produce by farmers, and indicate that food crops, such as maize, are frequently marketed through local informal channels. The effect of plot size on cropping patterns and yields is discussed, based on a case study investigation.
