| Description |
This paper discusses the significant role of agricultural diversification in the Philippine recovery program. It tackles certain aspects which were not taken up in the Medium-Term Philippine Development Program, I987-I992. The urgent need for developing agricultural diversification in the Philippines is presented as a way of solving problems of growing rural underemployment particularly in the drier months, low peasant incomes, and poor nutrition among the low-income groups. Also, it examines the potentials for diversification as well as the obstacles confronting it. The Philippine experience is compared with those of other Southeast Asian countries to provide a broader perspective for policies and their implementation.
