Abstract
The report states that, as agricultural output in developing countries increases, SMRE are needed to provide goods and services for the expanding local market. The significant role of these small-scale industries in providing employment, improving income distribution, further stimulating agricultural production, and encouraging the efficient use of capital is delineated. Mechanisms by which governments can support SMRE are also outlined. Operational problems are discussed and specific examples of past efforts are offered. The report includes a bibliography.
