Chapter Chapter 8 in Agricultural Development and Economic Transformation, 2017, pp 103-112 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter introduces the essential public institutional structures for modernization of agriculture, what they are to accomplish, how they interact with the dominant private sector, and key issues in their development. Discussion proceeds to farmers and private businesses whose incentive-based decisions determine the effect of government policies and institutions. That is followed by discussion of the key issues important in determining the long-run success of government programs for agricultural modernization. Next is the critical issue of geographic concentration of government effort. The final section outlines the interrelation between succeeding chapters.
