However, the original target seems to have been unrealistically low, and thus in 1995 the Ministry of Lands, Resettlement and Rehabilitation (MLRR) revised the estimate of land-less people upward to 90,000, and it undertook in its 1995/96 annual report to acquire another 554,000 hectares of commercial farmland before the turn of the century.
The MLRR attributes this shortcoming to the fact that the prices of commercial farms have skyrocketed, and that most of the farms offered for sale were useless for the purposes of resettlement.
