Sharecropping may be the dominant form of rent agreement in most underdeveloped countries. This paper indicates what economic forces will be at work to determine the proportion of the value of a crop taken by the landlord in any particular land market. It also shows how the analysis might guide government poiicy with respect to such markets.
