Infos

Agricultural Markets in a Transitioning Economy: An Albanian Case Study throws light on the future of agriculture in transitioning economies, in particular making a case for the important role of ongoing education.

---

This book presents major challenges and opportunities facing agriculture sectors in the wake of the transition from a planned to market economy. Using Albania as a case study, it examines the shift from communism to free markets and the lasting effects of such change on agricultural production and education. Using primary research sources to give readers an accurate portrayal of the path that lies ahead for many developing countries, the book also looks at the future of agriculture in transitioning economies.

Rezensionen

Case studies are critical to the issues of agricultural economics, because theory can only take one so far in rendering the economic and political forces impacting the stability of an agricultural market; therefore, this book
should be a part of any university library with an agricultural economics class and particularly for those trying to emphasize an extension program for the education of subsistence farmers in best practices and global competition. We often see case studies on a particular crop in a particular country, but rarely do we see the interaction of an entire agricultural cross-section over a
length of time as we do in this Albanian study. – The Journal of Agricultural & Food Information
