It shows how the liberalization of agriculture in many late developing countries has not in fact led to the development of the vibrant rural non-farm economy so often discussed in the literature. Neither has it led to a large-scale integration of agricultural producers into the global economy. Most producers remain engaged in traditional crops-mainly staples-and in traditional marketing systems characterized World Bank e-Library.AgricultureEconomic aspectsDeveloping countriesRural developmentDeveloping countriesEconomic developmentDeveloping countriesDeveloping countriesEconomic conditionsAgricultureEconomic aspectsRural developmentEconomic development338.1091724Losch Bruno1808582Fréguin-Gresh Sandrine1977-1285135White Eric Thomas1981-1808583IEN/DLCIENDLCBOOK9910961701203321Structural transformation and rural change revisited4358901UNINA
