Abstract: 

As a market oriented approach, economic reforms under structural adjustment programs were intended to speed-up structural changes in the agricultural sector together with a stimulation of growth, in general, and an urgently needed intensification of agricultural production, in particular. Essentially, since the agricultural sector produces tradable goods, it was hoped that trade policy reforms should have a major impact on the intensification and modernization of an export oriented agriculture. Improvements in the export oriented sector in agriculture, in particular, should have a trickle-down-effect on food production and food security. External and internal trade liberalization and, in detail, the abolition of any government interference in prices, are supposed to be a prerequisite for the encouragement of agricultural exports and, simultaneously, modernization of agriculture. Stimulated by the tradable good sectors, agricultural intensification should appear and a technical upgrading of farms was expected.
