The globalization process and the internal policy reforms that the developing countries have implemented during the past decade have changed the relative prices of practically all their inputs and outputs. Agricultural producers have therefore been forced to change the structure and methods of their production.This book reviews the impact of globalization on the economics of developing countries in general and their agricultural and rural sectors in particular.
