Subject Agriculture-Farming, Production, Technology, Economics
 
Description The agricultural economies of Africa have witnessed
three major changes during the past 10 to 15 years
that justify a reassessment of agricultural research
priorities. First, liberalization of macroeconomic and
trade policies has increased the relative importance of
tradeables in the commodity mix. Second, agricultural
input and product markets have expanded, broadening
the range of livelihood strategies available to rural
households. Finally, broader
partnerships for technology
development and dissemination are
creating new opportunities.
