AGRICULTURE MANAGEMENT IN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
ADOSSOU, F. T.
Abstract
The paper tries to analyse the management factor in
agriculture of Developing Countries, especially in Benin. These countries have
a lot to do in order to improve the level of agriculture management. And Farm
Management Research must play an important role in this process. Very rare are
those farmers who really administrate their farms. Three levels of management
must be considered: the state level, corporation and farm level with emphasis
on Farm-Household Systems. An example of managing peasants in Benin is given.
Key words:
management, agriculture, farm, Farm-Household Systems,
rural development, production
