Abstract:
As in the entire country in the Western Region on more than half of the region's agricultural practice subsistence
agriculture, and for self underperforming. Lack of association, privately owned land fragmentation, lack of irrigation,
small agricultural exploitations and poor technological equipment are some of the causes that prevent the practice of
effective, competitive agriculture. There are two categories of exploitations, i.e. small area exploitations (below 20 ha),
non-performing and providing only for self-consumption, and large exploitations (over 50 ha), well equipped (in
general, the property of large companies) that practice high-productivity agriculture. This is the reason why the authors
of the present paper analyse the present state of agricultural development of the Region West.
