    Agrarian Entrepreneurialism In Bangaladesh
    (2022-02-25) D.Wood, Geoffrey
    Under the fragmented landholding conditions of Bangladesh peasant agriculture, will the increasing capitalisation of agriculture transform the units of production away from the family based farm in to a system to vertically and horizontally integrated "agricultural companies"?. This suggests a particular interaction in which organization of production is disarticulated and re-articulated in a manner which reduces the significance of landholding in the realisation of agricultural surplusrealisation is silting towards investing in productivity and agricultural services away from rent and usury extraction in response to the intrusion of capital and assault on state momopolies on the one hand and to demographic pressures to use land more intensively on the other. The puper then asks:how far expansion of agriculture services activities takes the loam of interlocked markets in which the control over the productivity/ parasatic options for land use shifts from poorly networked owners towards a new entrepreneunal class of well-connected dealers and contractors.The related policy issue is whether the poor can be assisted to enter these new markets
