Abstract

Excerpts from the Introduction: Our main concern in this assessment of the agricultural sector is the small farmer: the conditions under which he is operating, the role he is playing--and might play--in the continuing transition from a traditional to a more modern agriculture, and his present and future welfare. The small farmer is viewed, however, against the background of the agricultural sector as a whole. The assessment is divided into two parts. Part I (Volume I) is an island-wide view of the small farmer. It deals with the characteristics of the small farmer and the conditions under which he is operating. It examines the constraints which press upon him at various levels: economic, social, administrative and cultural. Part I also provides the background and standard of comparison for the appraisal of the assets and liabilities of the Target Area.
