Chapter Chapter 5 in The Political Economy of Agrarian Change, 1979, pp 107-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The marketable surplus of agricultural commodities has been a topic of considerable interest to many economists and policymakers in underdeveloped countries. In several instances, in fact, it appears that agricultural policy has been more concerned with increasing the amount of food sold in the market than with augmenting the volume of food production. Why has this occurred? Why has the focus of attention, at least until recently, been on sales rather than output?
