This is Botir Dosov again.

I would like to support the view of S.S. Roy (Message 104), that in transition economies when and where rural advisory service are operating in a diversity models and pursue sustainability, any sources of supporting their operationalization could be considered conducive at certain extent. I agree that national rural advisory service systems should reduce the dependency on external support, and governments have to play a more pro-active role in creation of infrastructure facilities to address gaps or niches that private companies are neglecting as they have their own interests which sometimes are not aligned with the interests or needs of stakeholders and family farms. But, more considerations are needed to answer how to make governments play a more pro-active role in creation of a favorable environment, while those transition economies in many countries experience the lack of public investments in agricultural niches, such as rural advisory services.
