Abstract: | <p> This study appraises the significance of a selected number of variables - economic demographic, and physical - in explaining the inter-farm variation in gross cash income on a sample of small-scale multiple enterprize farms, Jamaica, West Indies. Chapter I outlines the purpose and methodology of the analysis, while Chapter II describes the physical geography and farming systems of the area. A review of literature germane to the main body of the study is covered in Chapter III. Specifying a model that traces out the relative significance of those variables which are hypothesized as influences on the inter-farm variation in gross cash income is the focus of Chapter IV. The final chapter summarizes and interprets the main findings of the study.</p> |
