Real Foodgrains Markets and State Intervention in India
Agricultural Merchants' Capital and Class Formation in India
Regional growth linkages from agriculture
Pioneering research on downstream linkages from agriculture is said to demonstrate that consumption links rather than production links are the main source of indrect growth effects, that these consumption links take the form of labour‐intensive goods and services produced locally, and that the largest farm enterprises are most locally multiplicative of activities mopping up surplus rural labour. This article has two purposes. First, the methodolo…

Although the information was generalized and the samples involved biased towards most successful areas, ce…
