Title: Agricultural marketing strategy and pricing policy
Description: Agricultural marketing in a very important but rather neglected aspect of agricultural development. Emphasis is usually placed on increasing food production, with the idea that this will both improve the nutritional status of the population and act as a base for rural development. Time and experience have shown, however, that markets do not develop automatically and that the lack of a well-functioning market can severely hinder the increase of production.
