Obstacles to Small Farm Development in the Commonwealth Caribbean

Obstacles to Small Farm Development in the Commonwealth Caribbean Abstract. Small farms now form the locus of attempts to develop agriculture in the English‐speaking Caribbean. Attempts to boost extra regional export need to be coupled with closer cooperation among the 12 nations to substitute food imports from outside the region. A series of macroeconomic and sectoral constraints are working to insure that export agriculture is accorded higher priority than production of staples for the domestic market. In this way the needs of the region's poorest farmers tend to be overlooked.1 http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png American Journal of Economics and Sociology Wiley

Abstract

Abstract. Small farms now form the locus of attempts to develop agriculture in the English‐speaking Caribbean. Attempts to boost extra regional export need to be coupled with closer cooperation among the 12 nations to substitute food imports from outside the region. A series of macroeconomic and sectoral constraints are working to insure that export agriculture is accorded higher priority than production of staples for the domestic market. In this way the needs of the region's poorest farmers tend to be overlooked.1
