  • Unknown

Abstract

This document provides a preliminary overview of the findings of the survey. It is anticipated that further analysis will be done, building in part on suggestions and reactions received to the information in this report. Additional analyses will be possible once the data have been processed and analyzed for the agricultural activities of the rural households covered by the survey. It is anticipated that this will take place in the second half of 1997.
