Abstract |
This study offers new, in-depth information about the production and utilization of triticale in Tunisia as a better basis for assessing alternative policy measures. Specifically, it analyzes recent trends in triticale production and utilization in Tunisia and i4entifies the related policy issues; examines how Tunisian farmers in different agroclimatic zones integrate triticale into their farming systems; determines the extent and modes of triticale utilization on the farm; identifies agronomic and socioeconomic constraints to the adoption and diffusion of triticale; examines alternative short- and long-term policy measures related to triticale production, utilization, marketing, and pricing; and recommends future directions for triticale research. |
