Resumen
Descripción
Over the decades to 1980 agricultural marketing and input supply systems
came increasingly under official monopolies. Dissatisfaction with the incentives
offerred to producers and with the costs to governments has sparked interest in
reform. Practicable ways of introducing more competition and mobilizing potential
individual initiatives are presented. Obstacles to progress in this direction
include political commitments of governments, ethnic concerns and patronage
interests. External aid can help ease these constraints.
