Excerpts from the report: In this paper we shall survey the literature on agricultural technology in Bolivia and attempt to identify the conditions under which new and more efficient technologies have been or could be adopted in that country. As a first step, we shall review the technological limitations imposed on agriculture by soils, topography, climate, and water resources. This will be followed by a general discussion of agricultural technology and closer looks at the use of specific modern inputs and irrigation water. Government policies affecting the adoption of new technology will also be considered. We shall then be in a position to draw some conclusions about why technological change has been successful in some regions and for some commodities, and not for others. In addition, we shall be able to examine the technological limitations imposed by small-holdings (minifundios), particularly where these holdings are fragmented. Finally, suggestions will be made for future research on technological change in Bolivian agriculture.
