Abstract

The paper provides an overview of the salient domestic agricultural policies that have affected agricultural trade, development, and growth in six countries. The overview identifies common themes in agricultural policies that contribute to an explanation of six countries' growth and development performances. The report is useful to policy planners concerned with broad development themes, including the role of agricultural trade in the development strategy, the problems associated with the transformation of agriculture, concern over food security, the influence of colonial agricultural policy, and relations between large- and small-scale agriculture.
