The use and productivity of labour in shifting cultivation: An East Malaysian case study
@article{Cramb1988TheUA, title={The use and productivity of labour in shifting cultivation: An East Malaysian case study}, author={R. Cramb}, journal={Agricultural Systems}, year={1988}, volume={29}, pages={97-115} }
This paper examines the pattern of labour use and the level and range of labour productivity in a shifting cultivation system in East Malaysia in order to explain the persistence of this cropping system in a semi-commercialized agriculture. It is concluded that the real returns to labour in shifting cultivation probably exceed its real opportunity cost and that, although a trend to smaller farms will continue, shifting cultivation will persist for some decades.Â
