One experience of privatization that has received much attention has been that of Chile, which has the most privatized and market\u2010oriented national system for technology transfer in Latin America. This paper suggests that this Chilean experience reveals both advantages and also limits of voucher and contract\u2010based forms of privatization of rural services, and demonstrates that there continues to be an important role for state investment and co\u2010ordination alongside private sector involvement. It also suggests that there is only limited evidence that this form of privatization has had a positive impact on farm incomes or on enhancing the extent to which services are demand led. The paper also notes that there have been very special circumstances in Chile that have helped consolidate this model. Attempts to transfer the model elsewhere ought therefore to be made with caution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>| By A.Bebbington and O.
