Rural economic growth is an important aspect of economic growth. Historically, rural agriculture has employed most people in most countries, and continues to do so today.

This volume focuses on economic growth in the agriculture sectors of Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand.

It contributes in its own ways to an explanation of the past. Good policy rests on an understanding of successes and failures in the past.
