问题     Ours is an agrarian economy. We must become self-sufficient in food to feed a rapidly growing population at an annual growth rate of more than 3 million people. A well-developed agricultural sector would offset the need for food import and play an important role in the development process by providing a home market for the products of the industrial sector. This implies that the rate of industrialization itself depend upon how fast agricultural incomes are rising. Development in the agricultural sector in our country means a rise in the income level of 70 percent of the population who are related to this sector. Their increased income in turn will give us more voluntary savings and investment and thus a source of revenue through taxation and potential capital formation by the government plus reduction in income inequalities between the urban population and rural masses. In this sense, aid received in the form of agricultural commodities hurts the developing countries and benefits developed countries more than proportionately. Because most of the farmers in developing countries are already at a mere subsistence level with a high rate of unemployment, disguised- unemployment and underemployment.
    The Chinese experience with rural development has demonstrated that agricultural modernization via labour-intensive techniques is a highly promising way to create extra jobs without extensive geographic displacement of the farmers. Regarding the impact of transfer of agricultural commodities on the long-term growth rate in the recipient country, it can be said that transfer of agricultural commodities under concessional terms may result in an ultimate lowering of the recipient countries’ long-term growth rate.
选项 A、most farmers in developing countries face unemployment.
B、developing countries need agricultural aid to boost economy.
C、agricultural aid hurts the economy in developing countries.
D、a well-developed agricultural sector provides a domestic market.
