Author

  • Ghose, Ajit Kumar,

Abstract

Examines rural poverty trends between 1950/51 and 1983/84. Finds that a rise in relative agricultural prices raises the incidence of rural poverty. Concludes that awarding price incentives to farmers to increase agricultural production is therefore not a desirable policy option.
