1.Development of infrastructure
> A market orientation approach toward production is necessary to ensure incomes that will enhance agriculture
> Markets and prices depend on access to sale points by traders and farmer. A good road transport system is vital. Roads are
few and not all-weather, increasing the cost of moving the farm products. Farming communities also need better water supplies and electricity are equally important.
2.The incentive approach
> Government need to put in place incentives that would ensure stable prices high enough to stimulate and encourage farmers
to produce more.
> Incentives can take the form of direct subsidy, improved access to credit and granting ownership of land to peasant
farmers. However, subsidies need to be implemented with care to avoid corruption
3. The institutional approach
> Government agricultural development agencies are created to help the farmers through training and extension,to implement government policies and monitor performance.
> But unfortunately such government staff are poorly motivated and ill-equipped.
> Extension services are frequently ineffective due to low morale among extension officers
> This may be due to a top-down approach and under-funding.
