Abstract

World food production reached a record high in 1986, exceeding 1985's record by about 1 percent, despite declining food output in Latin America, the United States, Western Europe, and Oceania. World food production generally increased faster than population from 1977-1986. Production of agricultural commodities increased at an annual compound rate of about 2.3 percent but only 0.7 percent on a per capita basis. This report presents indices of total and per capita agricultural and food production for 1977-86 for 111 countries, 12 regions, and the world. The indices are calculated using a Laspeyres base-weighted aggregate formula.
