dc.description.abstract | <p>The Regional Co-ordination Centre for Research and Development of Coarse Grains, Pulses, Roots and Tuber Crops (CGPRT Crops) in the Humid Tropics of Asia and the Pacific (CGPRT Centre) is one of the regional institutes of the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UN/ESCAP). The Centre aims at initiating and promoting co-operation for research and development on CGPRT crops in the region.</p>
<p>Diversification of agriculture has increasingly been seen as one of the strategies to adjust agricultural production in responding to increases and changes in demand, at the same time leading to an increase of farmers' income in rural areas. CGPRT crops are regarded as the main thrust of diversification, particularly where self-sufficiency of rice has been achieved.</p>
<p>Crop diversification however, cannot be limited to CGPRT crop production. In fact CGPRT crop-based farmers, in an effort to diversify, have been introducing other activities. Through the involvement in marketing and processing of CGPRT crops, farmers can earn greater incomes. This aspect of CGPRT crop development was the subject of two of the Center's monograph series (Nos 8 and 19) as referred to in the summary of this publication. These dealt with the effects of vertical diversification on farmers' incomes and rural employment generation in the marketing and processing of CGPRT crops. The Centre is currently pursuing research and development activities in this area as one of its priorities.</p>
<p>This study investigates the marketing system for perishable commodities recently introduced in CGPRT crop-based farms in a rainfed area in Java - its organization, functioning, benefits to farmers and policy implications. The study finds that the system is organized in the rural informal sector both for local and distant markets and generally functions efficiently. Rural women play distinctive roles particularly in local marketing.</p> |
