From the Foreword: The tradition of the Annual Agricultural Symposium is now
well established...Our deliberations got off to a spirited start with the
Opening Address of Mr. Mahbub ul Haq, formerly of the World Bank and of many
senior positions in Pakistan and, most recently, of UNDP. His address "The
Myth of Friendly Markets" led to a vigorous debate with
participation by many of the very large audience of Bank staff.
The theme of this year's Symposium - Public and Private Roles in
Agricultural Development- is one that is to the fore of debate on many
aspects of Bank operations...the contributions ranged accross roles in
marketing, credit, research, extension, input supply, seeds, veterinary
services, and grassroots development initiatives.
