The Basic Elements of Agricultural Competitiveness: In Three Parts: Economics and Policy, Geography, History

No 330596, Miscellaneous Publications from United States Department of Agriculture, Economic Research Service

Abstract: Excerpt from the booklet: The goal of this booklet is to explain the basic principles of agricultural competitiveness from three different perspectives — economics and policy, geography, and history. The three points of view are not mutually exclusive but strongly overlapping. We will begin with a review of the basic economic principles that underlie successful competition, show how international conditions and policies can modify these underlying principles, illustrate with maps and other diagrams the present structure of international agriculture, and then trace the trends that have brought us to the current juncture.
