Abstract: Abstract The determinants of agricultural performance — of the growth of output and the distribution of the resulting increases in income — are many. The availability of technology, the resource base, physical infrastructure, the agrarian structure, the formal and informal institutional matrix, the macro policy environment — all play a role. It would be highly convenient for the policy-maker if one could identify a particular factor as being the critical one, so that all efforts could be aimed at overcoming one clearly defined ‘dominant constraint’. Adherents of such ‘single factor’ approaches are not in short supply. Unfortunately reality is more complex, and it is rarely possible to point to just one area of intervention where action will be sufficient to unblock the process of agricultural development.
