The Impact Of Economic Development On Agricultural Trade Patterns

Author

  • Christiansen, Robert E.

Abstract

This report investigates the relationship between economic development, as measured by two indicators, per capita income and an index of health and educational indicators, and the consumption, production, and trade of selected agricultural commodities. The results indicate that development is strongly correlated with increased levels of certain food grains in developing countries. The evidence indicates that developing country imports of certain feed grains and oilseeds are strongly correlated with economic growth.
