摘要
In a market economy, there is always a pressure on cultivators to produce more by making productivity-raising investments, so they can pay their bills. However whether this pressure is realized and how it is realized are contingent. From the mid-1960s, the pressure to produce more could be realized by the use of the Green Revolution technology. Yet, given the availability of the new technology, whether it will in fact be used irt a place is contingent oil ecological and historical conditions as well as political conditions including state intervention. But these conditions are not favourable everywhere. Hence, there is the spatial variation in the Green Revolution.
