Introduction
Agriculture plays a crucial role in the economies of developing countries, providing food security, employment, and income for millions of people. However, agricultural productivity in these countries is often hampered by a variety of factors, including limited access to modern technology, poor infrastructure, and inadequate government support. Understanding the determinants of agricultural productivity in developing countries is essential for designing effective policies and interventions to improve the sector.
This thesis aims to investigate the key factors that influence agricultural productivity in developing countries. By identifying and analyzing these determinants, this study seeks to provide insights into how agricultural productivity can be enhanced to promote economic growth and poverty reduction in these countries.
