As returns rose above variable costs in modern agriculture by about 141% for traditional farming. The ratio of return on cost is about 1.3, 0.75 for both traditional and modern agriculture respectively. The total marginal rate of return (MRR) to 27.3 %, this indicator shows the level of returns as a result of the unity of the money directed to the purchase of new technologies squash. | ||
