<p> This study analyses the significance of a number of selected supply variables, economic and physical, in explaining changes in supply among Jamaican sugar cane farmers over time. The study is considered an empirical application of much of the findings in the theory of
agricultural supply.</p> <p> The study is set within the overall theory of agricultural supply
with a detailed discussion of the particular social and economic conditions of the study areas. As such, broad conclusions may be drawn from this study to be applied to other cases with similar characteristics.</p> <p> Extensive use is made of a questionnaire to arrive at the
particular characteristics of the farmers and their decisions regarding sugar cane supply. The study is, however, not exhaustive in scope nor are its conclusions incontrovertible.</p> / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
