Abstract:
That the lack of well trained agricultural technical specialist is presently limiting agricultural development in most Latin American countries is well documented (1). Historically, many of the agriculturists trained in Latin America are not adequately trained. The reasons for these deficiencies in quality and quantity vary. Long (2) contends that lack of economic development is in itself largely a consequence of institutional underdevelopment. It is a result of institutions being either nonexistent, inadequate, or improperly oriented to the maintenance of economic progress.
