Abstract
Agriculture in developing economies often employ the largest share of the workforce yet contribute the least to GDP when compared to the Industry and Services sectors. The reasons for this low productivity are numerous: land fragmentation; lack of post-harvest infrastructure; low technology utilization; weak market linkages; absent or inefficient markets; information and knowledge asymmetries (or lack thereof). This is further exacerbated by overall socio-economic structural deficiencies such as lack of access to finance and crop insurance.
