Abstract: In his comments on my paper [1] Mr. Sarfraz Khan Qureshi tried to show that (a) farmers faced with a choice between cultivating two types of wheat, i.e. local and Mexican varieties, would be guided by the net profitability (revenue) per unit of land; and (b) a varietal shift from local wheat at low prices to Mexican varieties at high prices is possible at some 'break-even' price, provided land is a fixed factor and Mexican varieties of wheat require less land bu~ more nonland factors (costs) per unit of output than the local wheat [2].
