Transition Report 2002: Agriculture and rural transition

The special theme of the 2002 Transition Report is Agriculture and rural transition. As well as assessing the performance of the agricultural sector since the start of transition, the Report analyses the variation in agricultural reforms across countries and examines political factors that influence this variation. An analysis of rural transition focuses on the business environment in rural economies and the linkages in the rural economy between farms and other enterprises.
The Report also analyses the second round of the Business Environment and Enterprise Performance Survey, covering close to 6,000 enterprises in 26 countries of the region. The survey provides useful insight into the quality of the business environment in the region and how it varies between countries and different types of firm. The Report also examines progress since the first round of the survey, which was analysed in the 1999 Transition Report.
