Farm Output, Non-Farm Income, and Commercialization in Rural Georgia
This article examines the decision of farmers to sell part of their farm output on the market, using data from the Republic of Georgia. A two-level empirical model is used, in which endowments and resource allocation decisions determine farm output and non-farm income, and these in turn determine market participation. We found, as expected, that farm output affects market participation positively, while non-farm income affects it negatively. Landholdings have an indirect positive effect on marke t participation, through its positive effect on farm output. Education has a negative effect on market participation, mainly through its positive effect on non-farm income.
