Abstract
his 65-page .pdf file is a book prepared for publication by the FAO Sub-Regional Office for the Pacific, Apia, Samoa, dated 2002.

It is SAPA Discussion Paper 1/2002.

As it says:
The purpose of this discussion paper is to reflect on the importance given to farm management in different Pacific island countries where the agricultural sector plays a fundamental role in the national economy. As traditional farm household systems modernize toward more commercial and market orientated farming, a critical need emerges. This need is for training and support of farm business operations in basic farm management, and assistance for local agencies to give business support to farmers, such as developing business plans, marketing farm products, keeping farm records, evaluating profitability, and writing loan proposals. Based on the realities of Pacific islands agriculture, this paper recommends ways to adjust support services.
