DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Agricultural Situation in the Far East and Oceania: Review of 1970 and Outlook for 1971 Most countries of the Far East and Oceania estimated significant gains in gnp for 1970. Farm production was up in all countries except in Japan, Korea, Cambodia, and New Zealand. Most gains can be attributed to the increased use of modern technology, particularly more fertilizer, high - yielding seeds, and irrigation. If average weather prevails, total farm production is likely to rise again in 1971 in all developing. Countries except possibly those of indo-china. Programs to restrict rice production. In Japan and wheat in Australia will keep the total outturn for the developed countries near the 1970 level. Reflecting an upgrading of the average diet, the market for imported farm products is expanding and diversifying. U.s. Exports of agricultural commodities to the region reached a record billion in 1970. U.s. Exports to Japan topped $1 billion. Nevertheless, the United States faces increased competition for Far East markets, most notably from Australia and Western Europe.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Agricultural Situation in the Far East and Oceania: Review of 1972 and Outlook for 1973 Drought reduced total agricultural production in most countries of the Far East and Oceania during 1972. Sharp increases in Japan (8 percent) and Taiwan (7 percent) were not enough to offset large declines in India (9 percent), Thailand (9 percent), Australia (7 percent), and the Khmer Republic (21 percent). Total agricultural production in South Korea and Malaysia increased slightly, despite adverse weather in both countries. The Philippines showed a small increase in output, although crop production was hampered by devastating floods followed by drought conditions. New Zealand's output was up in 1972, but a severe drought may lower 1973 production. Pakistan, Indonesia, South Vietnam, and Sri Lanka also had reduced agricultural output. For the first time in 7 years, developing countries of Asia failed to show an increase in total agricultural production. Per capita food production declined in all but four countries in the Far East and Oceania during 1972. The largest declines were recorded in the Khmer Republic (25 percent), Thailand (15 percent), India and Sri Lanka (11 percent), Australia (8 percent), and Indonesia (7 percent). Advances in per capita food output occurred only in Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, and New Zealand. Rice production (milled) in the Far East in 1972 totaled 103 million tons, down 8 percent from the 1971 level. India's rice output dropped million tons to the lowest level since 1966. Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal, and the Khmer Republic also recorded large declines. Japan, with record rice yields in 1972, was the only country in the Far East with significantly increased rice output. Demand for rice imports by Indonesia, the Philippines, and Bangladesh was strong in 1972, while exportable supplies diminished in Thailand, Pakistan, Burma, and Japan. Rice prices in Asia by early 1973 were about 50 percent higher than they were a year earlier. A decrease in prices is not expected until late 197 3, when most of the Asian rice is harvested, and then only if 1973 is a good harvest.

This reflected a large increase in Korea's rice crop, in part a recovery from the effects of drought in the 2 preceding years and in part a general increase, which carried total production for the country 6 percent above the trend.
