One reason is due to the small holding sizes of farms in Developing countries, that makes it difficult to adopt modern technology. Small farms also leads to almost one quarter of the land lost to boundaries & pathways, again reducing the land available for cultivation. Again, the purchasing power of consumers is lower in Developing countries, so they look for price economy, which hinders going for higher cost production methods.

@Thanks Dr. Murray for your feedback, yep I agree with you decreasing land holdings with generations are resulted in lower mechanization level as their limited financial resources.

Dear Dr. Abbas,

I can cite four major problems that restrain maximized agricultural production in developing countries.

Poor agricultural practices that are in sustainable usually result in poor agricultural production.

Lack of technical know how on the part of local farmers on how to skillfully integrate modern technology with known and time tested traditional farming techniques

Lack of financial support for farmers to boost their agricultural productions

Lack of appropriate farming tools and equipment that would have heightened agricultural productivity

@Adom: Thank you so much for your countribution, I totally agree with all the concerns you heighlited.

Thanks with appreciation

• Problem with development system and policies
• Use of low Inputs and technology that contributes for low productivity
• Low level of Agricultural Intensification
• Slow pace of technology adoption and productivity
• The available technologies are inappropriate to local conditions and the low levels of capital available
• Advanced technologies are not complemented with capital investment to increase labor productivity.
• Poor efforts for appropriateness of technology choices
• Low investment in agricultural R&D
• Less Rand D support from high-income countries
• etc

@ Kassahun: Thank you so much sir for your time, and I do agree with all the points you raised concerning develping countries issue.

Dear Adnan

the main problem is agricultural mechanization

the developed countries will never support the developing countries

with transfer of mechanical technology, because that implies that

who would sell their surplus food, which are

of poor quality and sell what is left over, if the developing countries

apply agricultural mechanization increase their productivity and therefore

They become independent in matters of food. You can check my article

Rural Poverty and Agricultural Mechanization Policies in Mexico

@Negrete; Thank you for your insight analysis, that's true the developing countries are suffering with mechanization level. I will check your paper that's sounds interesting to me. Regards

@ Nyamuhirwa; Thanks dear, I got your point and I agree with your thoughts about supporting infrastructure and policies.

Thanks

i agree with all respected scholars, i want to add one aspect. knowledge dissemination through Agricultural Extension services and structure is very poor in developing countries , and other main reason is the mismanagement of utilization of available resources , and time of utilization of input is very important in productivity.

It's not necessarily resource utilization in my view, but resource inavailability.

@Tahir: Thanks for raising the point of poor infrastructure and execution of extension departments.

@ Dr. Mtewa: Thank you so much for the time, I agree with you resource unavailability also a reason of low productivity.

There are many reasons behind that , mentioning some of them:

1. The lack of equipment in agriculture.

2.The primitive ways that the farmers depend on.

3.The unawareness of the workers in that field

@D. Joanna: Thank you so much for your detailed contribution, I agree with you, indeed developing countries are facing such problems.

@Mahdi: Thanks dear, yep inadequate diffusion of agriculture technology and poor know how do caused low productivity.

Thank you so much @ all the respected RG members for your comments and visionary countributions.

Poor Agricultural extension services? farmer education, in Saharan Africa the scarcity of modern implements, low incentives, support to farmers, and most importantly natural factors such as drought due to insufficient rainfall, locust, etc.

@ Ja'Afaru Yusuf Dogara ;

Thank you so much for your detailed contribution, I agree with you, indeed developing countries are facing such problems.

Fragmentation of land holdings that makes uneconomical for farmers to adopt modern methods of agriculture.

In developing countries like India, there are many more constraints owing to lower down the productivity level of the crop like scattered land holding...One of the most important threats to agricultural production system is small land holding with scattered....Second, lack of risk bearing ability as most of farmers are cultivating their crops for subsistence, are unable to adopt new technological intervention as risk of crop failure or other risks related to socioeconomic feasibility...Poor resources and input use efficiencies as in developing countries, farmers are going to incorporate inputs irrespective of the demand of the crop, time of application and soil supplying capacity of the soil...Again there is problem of poor farm mechanisation because of small and scattered land holdings..Lack of technical know-how, lack of scientific knowledge at farmers level.... Increasing population pressure of the country has been a serious problem which thereby cause shrinkage of the land whereby more challenges to harvest amole produce from a unit area and time.. Problems of decline in fertility status, lowering input use efficiencies, risk of adopting any newer technology are another serious problem...
