Financing agricultural development

ABSTRACT

Even with the natural decrease in relative participation of the agricultural sector as economies develop, it continues to be a pivotal sector, particularly for those economies that have not yet achieved great development levels. This paper aims to explain how this important sector has been (or not) financed for the past decades and how this impacts agricultural development.
