| description |
Although it is commonly believed that
aggregate economic growth must be associated with public
infrastructure stocks, the possible infrastructure needs and
effects are different from industry to industry. The
agriculture sector is typical. Various infrastructures would
affect agriculture growth differently depending on the type
of commodity. This paper finds that a general transport
network is essential to promote coffee and cocoa production,
perhaps along with irrigation facilities, depending on local
rainfall. Conversely, along with the transport network, the
dairy industry necessitates rural water supply services as
well. In some African countries, a 1 percent improvement in
these key aspects of infrastructure could raise GDP by about
0.1-0.4 percent, and by possibly by several percent in some cases. |
