Description: Projects that focus on agricultural commodities are a common approach to economic development. By improving the production, processing or marketing of a commodity, such projects aim to alleviate poverty among farmers and small-scale traders and processors, as well as benefiting the wider economy. But how should such projects be designed and implemented? Development agencies and managers of such projects are confronted with a series of practical dilemmas. This book answers eight of the most important questions they face.
