AGRICOLA AGE 85925741, Extract: This study examined returns to scale for three categories of rice farms in a region of Guyana where there have been differential rates of technology adoption. It identified the various factors which affected rice production and assessed their relative importance on output. Production functions have been used in analyzing problems of resource allocation in peasant agriculture. These enable a comparison of relative performance of farmers, between farm types, and between geographical areas.
