systems (formal teaching and extension) to help agricul-
turists in using technology-imbedded practices. In the U.S.
Virgin Islands, again, we have a relative advantage. Having a
U.S. land-grant institution present in the territory provides
both formal degree education and extension education
available to the residents. The Virgin Islands' Cooperative
Extension Service has a successful record of conducting
highly visible and useful public education programs.
 Entrepreneurship and rigorous use of management con-
cepts to agriculture is the need of the day. In the United
States, it is widely known that bad business decisions have
been responsible for the downfall of many farmers. Being a
U.S. territory, the U.S. Virgin Islands need to learn some
quick lessons from the recent U.S. phenomenon. For a
viable agricultural industry to be developed, the use of
business management concepts in farm management is the
key.
 In conclusion, I have tried to make the following points:
 1) agricultural development effort must emphasize produc-
 tion and marketing simultaneously; 2) agriculture is a
 complex industry that depends on nine prime factors; and
 3) research, education and application of management
 concepts are three impactors on the contributions of nine
 prime factors. These three points should then be con-
 sidered in formulating a well-balanced agricultural devel-
 opment policy, including-the provision of helpful taxation
 and credit facilities. 0
