It has led to higher real per capita incomes and reduced poverty incidence between 1990 and 2000. Compared to non agrarian reform beneficiaries, agrarian reform beneficiaries tend to have higher incomes and lower poverty incidence. Moreover, complementary inputs such as irrigation, credit and government services tend to increase the chances of farmer beneficiaries to be non poor.No physical items for this record
