Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. Chapter 9 Agricultural Transformation and Rural Development

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-2 Importance of Agricultural and Rural Development Heavy emphasis in the past on rapid industrialization at the expense of agriculture Agricultural development is now seen as an important part of any development strategy

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-3 Contribution of Agriculture Produce – food to meet basic nutritional needs of the population – raw materials to help the industry – cash crops for export Farmers have demand for manufactured consumer and capital goods

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-4 Contribution of Agriculture Agriculture employs a large percentage of the labor force Agriculture generates a large percentage of the GDP With improved farm productivity, the labor and GDP shares of agriculture will decline over time

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-5 Improved Farm Productivity

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-7 Agraian Structures The structure of agrarian systems consists of three types of countries: – Agriculture-based countries – Transforming countries – Urbanized countries

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-8 Agraian Structures

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved. 9-9 Agricultural Dualism: World MDCs have higher total factor productivity than LDCs Land (output per acre) Labor (output per worker-hour) Capital (output per machine-hour) Appropriate technology

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Land Productivity in Developed and Developing Countries

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Reasons for Poor Performance Lack of investment in Human capital (education, nutrition, health) Social capital (roads, homes, electricity, irrigation) Physical capital (mechanical inputs, storage rooms) Technological advancement: (high yield seed variety, better planting methods)

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Reasons for Poor Performance Unequal land distribution – Large and powerful landowners – Small family farmers and peasants – Sharecroppers, landless peasants, and farm workers

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Land Distribution

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Land Distribution

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Latin America Latifundios: Very large landholdings Commercial farming & advanced farm technology Employing more than 12 workers Minifundios: Small family farms (a few workers) Subsistence farming & primitive technology Low standard of living

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Latin America Problems: Land concentration: 71.6% of land owned by 1.3% of landowners Inefficiency of latifundios Subsistence of minifundios

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Asia Commercial farming: Very large landholdings Massive government subsidies Subsistence farming: Small family farms Sharecroppers and landless peasants Little or no government support

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Asia Colonial heritage of cash crop production (e.g., cotton, peanuts) Progressive introduction of monetized transactions Powerful “absentee” landowners residing in large cities with political & economic influence

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Asia Moneylenders and loan sharks – Lend money for buying seeds and fertilizer – Charge exuberant interest rates (20-50%) – Hold land as collateral – Take over the land in case of loan default in poor-crop years – Become landowners themselves

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Asia Problems: Poverty Land and income disparity Rapid population growth Growing number of landless peasants Lack of government programs helping small farmers Massive R-U migration

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Africa Commercial farming: Very large landholdings Massive government subsidies Subsistence farming: Small family farms Primitive technology Large areas of unusable land Massive underemployment, but labor shortage in crop season

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Agricultural Dualism: Africa Problems: Poverty Land and income disparity Rapid population growth Lack of government programs helping small farmers Massive R-U migration Rapid deforestation and desertification

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Economic Role of Women Daily tasks: Home-making and child rearing Food processing for consumption and storage Farming: weeding, harvesting, raising livestock

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Economic Role of Women Cash crop labor Generate income through cottage industry Make up 60-80% of farm labor in Asia & Africa; 40% in Latin America Are subject to gender discrimination in education and employment

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Minimum consumption requirement (MCR): Amount of food necessary for survival Fixed by nature Output below which means hunger and starvation

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Minimum desirable consumption level (MDCL): Amount of food desirable Increases over time with application of more protein and sugar

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming MCR Farmer A resists change MDCL Farmer B welcomes change Output/Consumption Time

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Farmer A producing a tad over MCR is risk averter He is unwilling to risk survival by making a change in traditional way of life and farming Crop failure is catastrophic

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Farmer B producing close to MDCL is risk taker He is willing to try new methods of production Crop failure still provides the minimum food requirement

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Farmer A resists change to maintain MCR; he prefers production technique A with low mean and low variance Farmer B welcomes change to produce closer to MDCL; he prefers production technique B with high mean and high variance

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Risk Taking in Subsistence Farming Mean = 10 Technique A: low mean, low variance Mean = 12 Technique B: high mean, high variance

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Sharecropping & Efficiency Supply of labor is fixed at W A and demand for labor is the Value of Marginal Product, VMP For a small landowner: W A = VMP for employment = L F For a sharecropper: WA = 0.5 VMP for employment = L S Here L S < L F as sharecroppers have less incentive to Apply inputs including labor, seeds, fertilizer Use modern farming techniques Produce maximum output

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Sharecropping & Efficiency

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Rural Development Strategies Technological change and innovation: Modern mechanical and chemical inputs High-yield seed varieties Modern farming techniques Appropriate technology: labor-intensive

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Expansion of Modern Inputs in the Developing Regions

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Rural Development Institutional and Pricing Policies Parity pricing: equalization of unit farm and nonfarm prices Distribution systems and farmer cooperatives

Copyright © 2009 Pearson Addison-Wesley. All rights reserved Rural Development Strategies Land Reform: Distribute fertile land between small farmers and landless peasants Compensate owners for loss of land Provide supportive services to help increase production Establish rural industries and jobs to curb R-U migration
