Commercialization of agriculture and rural living standards:

Commercialization of agriculture and rural living standards: El Palmar, Colombia, 1960-1979 - 1983 - Printed
Includes 16 references
Extract: The effect of the commercialization of traditional agriculture on the levels of living of peasant households is examined through a case study of El Palmar, Colombia. While there appear to have been widespread, positive, short-run effects, the long-run consequences appear to be more problematic. It is suggested that commercialization and its consequences are more complex than can be grasped from available aggregate data, and a historical, case-study approach to this topic is recommended to complement macroeconomic studies
