Abstract

Report Introduction: The overall development of a nation's agriculture is contingent not only on increasing crop and livestock output but on increasing per capita output as well. This report measures crop output for 17 developing countries: Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Jamaica, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay in Latin America; Malagasy Republic, Mauritius, Morocco, and Senegal in Africa; Syria in the Near East; and Ceylon in the Far East. Data are also presented on livestock output and total agricultural output for 12 countries analyzed in a 1965 study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The 12 study countries are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, and Colombia in Latin America; Greece and Turkey in the Near East; Spain and Poland in Europe; the United Arab Republic (Egypt) in North Africa; Japan and Taiwan in the Far East. The objectives of this report are (1) to present a compilation of basic index numbers of agricultural output; (2) to measure levels, changes, sources of change, and compositional changes in crop output; and (3) to provide basic data relating to changes in livestock production in selected countries. The results should prove helpful in future research involving agricultural output, both in the formulation and the testing of hypotheses.
