| Agriculture and Natural Resources - The Role of the State and
Markets
What are the over-arching priorities for improving the functioning
of agricultural markets? Some would say removing enduring
state interference in market functioning that discourages
major private investment. There is widespread agreement that,
in both Africa and lower potential areas of Asia, improved
transport infrastructure would be of great benefit. Improving
traders access to finance is also an issue, especially where
private trading has not historically been strong. In areas
of low population density and/or low (current) agricultural
productivity, non-market coordination of investment may also
be needed to kick-start agricultural markets.
