Description and Table of Contents
Description
This study seeks to present an understanding of the Malaysian rice industry within the constraints of the local physical environment, and the social and cultural milieu in which the farmers operate. The book also compares the agricultural policies pursued by the Malaysian governments, both colonial and national, to various theories and models of agricultural development, in order to determine which, if any, are relevant to the Malaysian situation.
