The Diversification of Agricultural Production in Less Developed Nations

Excerpts from the Introduction: The diversification of national or regional agricultural production promises to play an increasingly important role in the economic development of many less developed countries. The reasons for this are complex but center about changes in the supply and demand for agricultural products. Yet diversification is more a subject of vague reference than actual knowledge. Little comprehensive general information is currently available for administrative or planning use. This report is an attempt to help correct that situation.

引言摘录：国家或区域农业生产的多样化有望在许多欠发达国家的经济发展中扮演日益重要的角色。其原因复杂，但核心在于农产品供需关系的变化。然而，多样化更多是一个模糊提及的话题，而非实际认知的对象。目前，可供行政或规划使用的全面综合信息寥寥无几。本报告旨在帮助改善这一状况。
