region were very high as they geared their farming systems
towards specialisation in vegetable crop production using
high yield varieties (HYV's) of vegetable plants, utilising
improved plastic drip irrigation techniques and biochemically
based pesticides and fertilizers. This was a period of short-

vegetable commodity prices were set by less technically
advanced forces of production. These new techniques produced
