Tajikistan: Building a market-based economy

Farmers in Tajikistan face the discouraging challenge of using left-over machinery from the Soviet system. The machines are dilapidated and the processing produces a terrible product. Farmers can't sell their crops because of the poor quality and their limited knowledge of marketing. Thankfully they are getting help. Families are being trained, new facilities are being created, and markets are being developed.

market-based economy? What r u talking about?

[medadotorg]

A market economy is an economic system based on the division of labor in which the prices of goods and services are determined in a free price system set by supply and demand. Please let us know if that doesn't answer your question.

that's right, but you cannot rely merely on small to medium businesses to achieve efficiency. the nation needs large manufacturing base along huge investment in obsolete transportation and communication infrastructure. this all should be operated by highly EDUCATED people and led by a clear vision of a good leadership. democracy is a big BS ( with capital letters) if basic economic development is not seen.
