This course is broadly concerned with the use of economic principles to
agriculture related activities. In particular, this course is concerned
with the institutional aspects with regard to farming in developing
countries. Many farmers in the developing world are constrained by
various institutional aspects, related to physical resources, such as
land, labour and capital that are needed to do production, as well as
other supporting services including credit, marketing, transportation
etc. Hence, the course aims to deepen students' understanding of how
economic principles that guide production as well as the institutional
constraints farmers face, especially in developing countries like Sri
Lanka.
