Problems and Remedies: Agrarian Reform in Developing Countries
The problems related to agrarian reform vary according to the social, economical and political structures of developing countries.
- One of the major problems of agrarian reform in developing countries is the lack of improvement in credit measures, marketing and community development. The technical experts in these fields also need to function efficiency.
- The research and training program is a vital part of agrarian reform. Lack of proper training and research limits the prosperity of agrarian reform in developing countries. Developing regional training and research institutes can be the best solution for this specific problem. The existing training and research institutes can take the assistance from FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization) of the United Nations.
- One of the major problems taking place in developing countries is the lack of proper implementation of agrarian policies. Despite have a common objective to provide enough incentives to the cultivators with modern facilities and technologies, these policies differ according to the physical, historical, climatic and cultural conditions of a country. A proper implementation of agrarian policies can enhance the social and economic life of rural people. An universally accepted policy can facilitate land reform in developing countries. The techniques and procedures should be suitably implemented while adopting land acquisition and redistribution of a particular area.
Sometimes due to lack of sufficient marketing and credit facilities, agrarian reform fails to prosper. Development of co-operatives can be treated as one of the effective solutions of this specific problem.
