Abstract

In area where farmers can diversify crops, we find that under similar physical-socio-economic conditions, some farmers grow only one crop while others grow more than one crop in the same season. For policy makers, it is important to understand farmer's decision making. This paper presents two theoretical models for empirical research consideration. One bases an Production Possibility Curve approach and the other is Production Function approach including risk factor.
