In referring to the increase in planning activities in East Africa, this paper concentrates on the institutional aspects of planning for new production. It sets out the need for multi‐farm agencies and illustrates by reference to Land Settlement Schemes. Attention is drawn to the non‐economic problems involved and of the responsibility (at present) on the economist to speak for other social scientists.
