Economic strategy and agricultural productivity

Richard Grabowski

Journal of Social and Economic Development, 2015, vol. 17, issue 2, 167-183

Abstract: In this paper, the role of agriculture in the structural change process will be analyzed, within the context of a dual economy framework. The hypothesis is that those countries experiencing rapid structural change are characterized by rapid growth in staple food production. Alternatively, those countries in which growth in food staples is slow will be characterized by a distorted process of structural change inhibiting long-run development. These ideas are illustrated in the comparative development experiences of the Philippines and Indonesia. Copyright Institute for Social and Economic Change 2015
