摘要：I am pleased to be with you today in beautiful Tobago and to be able to partici-pate in the Twentieth West Indies Agricul-tural Economics Conference. Congratula-tions are extended to President Singh, to others who have played such an important role in organizing this gathering, and to you, the members of the Agricultural Eco-nomics Society who persist, who strive to enhance our profession under adverse con-ditions.
