Income and employment generation from agricultural processing and marketing: The case of soybean in Indonesia
以印度尼西亚大豆为例,研究农业加工和营销活动在发展中国家创造地方收入和就业的潜力,发现其贡献与农业生产本身相当甚至更大,有助于缓解农村贫困和不平等。
This study aims to illustrate the potential of agricultural processing and marketing activities in generating local income and employment in developing economies, using soybean in Indonesia as a case. The results show that those activities add to rural income and employment at a scale equal or even larger than those generated from farm production itself, indicating their role in alleviating poverty and inequality in the rural sector.
