Abstract: The purpose of this discussion paper is to first document and highlight some of the major shifts in output over the past ten years, and then provide some working hypotheses about the reasons behind the changes. The paper also documents troubling trends in overall productivity in the traditional agriculture sector, underscoring the need for more off-farm employment and for improved agricultural input and output systems.
