A Survey Of Agriculture In Uruguay PDF Download

Excerpt from A Survey of Agriculture in Uruguay The stagnation that has occurred in the agricultural sector in the last 20 years is traceable chiefly to the unfavorable prices received by producers of major farm products-prices that reflect both the decline in world agri cultural prices from levels reached during the Korean war boom and Uruguay's foreign-exchange and export-tax policies. These policies were designed to further the redistribution of incomes generated in low-cost agriculture for the purpose of supporting high-cost industries and social services. However, they discouraged investment in agriculture and agricultural output declined. Inflation became rampant, and the balance of payments deteriorated. Uruguay's Agricultural Development Plan, 1965-74, which proposes policy and administrative reforms to improve agricultural conditions, includes recommendations on the exchange-rate and export-tax policies. Not until 1968, however, did the Government make a serious effort to adjust them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
