Abstract/Description
The five chapters on regional issues in agricultural development provide an overview of the various regional experiences and the transformation of agrifood systems. In these chapters, as well as in Chapter 1, the validity of the Hayami-Ruttan induced innovation hypothesis (Hayami and Ruttan 1985) was graphically examined, particularly by looking at growth paths of land and labor productivities in various countries and across major regions. Also examined were emerging trends of agricultural transformation in these regions. This chapter summarizes regional experiences in productivity growth and agricultural transformation.
