| Entre los años 1979 y 1984 la producción de camarón en el Ecuador tuvo un aumento dramático y 1983, fue el año de más alta producción registrada, la producción totalizó 36,6 miles de toneladas métricas, con una exportación valorada en 183 millones de dólares, es decir, cerca de tres veces la cantidad producida en 1979. Este incremento espectacular fué debido principalmente a la expansión de la industria de la cría de camarones de piscinas, haciendo que el Ecuador se convierta en el líder de los países productores de criaderos de camarones. El desarrollo vertiginoso de la industria de la cría del camarón y a los problemas que se enfrenta dicha industria no han sido bien documentados. Los objetivos de este informe son: revisar y comparar la información... |

| Even though farming accounts for only about 1 percent of the total national workforce, it is at the core of the food and fiber system. The system is one of the largest sectors in the U.S. economy, and is comprised of industries related to farming, including feed, seed, fertilizer, machinery, food processing, manufacturing, and exporting. The interrelationships among the sectors of the food and fiber system and the U.S. and world economies are many and complex. As a result, U.S. and world policies and economic factors--such as interest and inflation rates--play a critical role in everything from the cost and availability of farm credit to the demand for farm products at home and abroad. The farm crisis of the 1980's illustrates how specific economic events... |

In the intervening years the literature and much of the practice of development has been dominated by either emphasis on industrialization, independent of agricultural development, or on agriculture as a provider of basic human needs, independent of commercialization and industrialization. Perhaps the time is ripe to pick up the old threads of a dynamic interaction between agriculture and industry. Those threads lead to a very specific strategy for development of agriculture itself in which... |
