- Abstract
- My presentation is about the implications for research when smallholders' farming is engaged into restructuring. I will give some illustration of the extent of variation of farm size and cotton area per farm in the world. Size could matter in the performance of cotton growing, but this could be truer within a country than between countries as it is the case in China. This is the rationale of the policy set in China towards a larger size farming that I will introduce briefly before outlining the implications for cotton research.
