The Comoros archipelago in East Africa has implemented a comprehensive land reform programme since aimed at addressing longstanding socio-economic inequalities. The research employs a mixed-method approach combining qualitative interviews with quantitative surveys among local farmers and community leaders from five key regions, supplemented by archival data analysis. A notable finding is that the land reform has led to an increase of 20% in agricultural productivity in the targeted regions, attributed primarily to improved access to inputs such as seeds and fertilizers. The study concludes that while significant progress has been made, persistent challenges related to tenure security and market integration necessitate continued support and policy adjustments. Recommendations include strengthening legal frameworks for land tenure, enhancing extension services to farmers, and promoting diversification of agricultural activities to reduce reliance on a single crop.
