Farm production in developing country (Nigeria) is determined by several factors outside the conventional factors of production. The decision by a rural resource poor farmer to produce for instance "Maize" depends on the conventional factors of production combination, and very importantly the socioeconomic characteristics of the farm household, the climatic conditions and even the security of farming environment. In this situation where a farmer is clouded by several factors that modeled his/her farm production decision, is it still correct in this situation to restrict production function to the classical form? Or should the production function be expanded to include the socioeconomic characteristics, climatic condition among others?
As for all trades, it is appropriate to use and apply the knowledge acquired which in the concrete case explained, it would be appropriate in my opinion, to establish a plan of experience to acquire new knowledge by mastering one or more input parameters to obtain results validating a model that should then be applied. This model (a little mathematical) would define the weight of the characteristics cited and others: socioeconomic, climatic conditions, ..... in the production function, which would be better controlled.
Thank you Jean-Claude Sagot for your intelligent answer, there is untapped wisdom in your opinion. But please, i will appreciate your contribution more if you kindly support your opinion with mathematical specification.
Yes, the production function be expanded to include the socioeconomic characteristics and climatic condition .
