Abstract: In recent years, States have played an increasingly important role in economic development activities. Many States have focused special attention on the rural portion of the economy. Salient reasons for such a rural focus include these: to improve the efficiency of the State's economy, to make full use of fixed investments, to improve rural-urban equity, to preserve a rural "way of life, " and to respond effectively to the population density differences between rural and urban places.
