There were 4 oral presentations instead of the planned 6 covering rural market development-related topics within developing countries.

He also showed that, crop purchases are financed by livestock (vice-versa) and excess income emanating from crop sale is converted into livestock asset. Additionally, he said that policies and strategies should pay attention to the simultaneous production and marketing of both crop and livestock commodities.
