From July 1984 to June 1985, 13 new drying plants were established on the Atlantic Coast of Colombia for a total of 20 plants. During the 1984-85 campaign, these plants processed 7158 t fresh cassava (total of 3006 t dry cassava), representing an increase of 217 percent over the previous campaign...

A general review is presented on how socioeconomics can contribute to agricultural research progress. Research priorities are basically determined by the identification and understanding of the farmers` problems, knowledge of their resources (type of soil, rainfall pattern), farm characteristics,...

In the context of a growing population in an already densely populated area, agricultural yields will need to increase without putting additional stress on the environment. The adoption of modern inputs by smallholders is an important ingredient of agricultural transformation. In this study we ex...

A translog stochastic production fronter was used to analyse the technical efficiency of small farmers using improved maize production technology in Western Ethiopia. The study estimated a mean technical efficiency for the entire sample of 76%, indicating that a significant potential for gains fr...
