Farm prices and agricultural production in developing countries

Author

  • Schafer, Hans-Bernd

Abstract

The low agricultural output of many developing countries is often blamed on discrimination against the farm sector, especially as a result of low state-regulated prices. Accordingly, it is argued that agricultural prices should be raised to offer producers incentives to expand production. However, the connection between farm prices and aggregate agricultural output has not yet been adequately clarified by empirical evidence. The following article tackles this problem.
