Extension Commercialization: How Much to Charge for Extension Services

Ariel Dinar

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, 1996, vol. 78, issue 1, 1-12

Abstract: As public agricultural extension organizations around the world examine the possibility of privatizing or commercializing part or all their services, several issues arise. In this paper I address the question of how to price the services provided. Using available data from Israel, a supply (marginal cost) function is estimated for the Israel Extension Service, and a demand function for extension services is estimated. The derived number of visits and the per visit price are calculated. Several general extension-related policy issues that may also be applicable to other countries are discussed.
