Agriculture Extension and Associated factors in Eastern Highlands Province.

Abstract

Agriculture remains (and will for sometime yet) the economic base of the subsistence farming population of this province. Changes are continually being seen and adopted in the varying species of livestock and crops and in their management practices. On the scene are now, more progressive and responsive farmers who, if guided and assisted well can become effective and efficient producers. In doing so, the need for extension services may be removed and diverted into other areas such as Infrastructural Developments, Rural Credit, Down Stream Processing and Marketing etc,.
