Economic feasibility of expanding permanent tree crops on hillsides

A typical farm model is presented. Its first application was used to address and analyze the economic feasibility of small farmers investing in tree crops on the hillsides. This model tries to represent the complex manner in which prices, yields and farmers' resources interact to determine the best combination of production activities. The model can be used to analyze different production, prices, technology and resource availability situations to proVide insight into a variety of relationships. The table of contents describes the model; the information used; and the results of three alternatives. (MIBA)
