Jim
-Provide appropriate incentives to farmers and to ensure conditions that permit them to respond to the incentives.
-Stimulating local demand for more labor-intensive, high income-elastic products such as vegetables, fruit and livestock products through intensification and a switch away from
staple foods that are natural as economic growth also increases.
-Linkages and multipliers between agricultural and non-agricultural activities are also important thus agricultural development needs to be broad-based, with small/medium-scale rural industries.
-Technical change also needs to be a continuing process, but in staple food production this is a large and complex undertaking to which the private sector and producer organizations should consider for rapid agricultural growth.
