Abstract

Excerpts from the Preface: In February 1963, The Economic Research Service (ERS) received through the Agency for International Development (AID) a request from the Ministry of Food and Agriculture in India for information about how the United States has improved its agricultural production. The request emphasized the need for information about price and other economic incentives, fertilizer production and distribution, and other factors important to achieving rapid increases in agricultural output. ERS provided a summarizing statement and publications on the subject. Later, AID asked ERS to prepare a more detailed report on how the United States improved its agricultural production for use in other countries by USAID Missions. This report includes the information sent to India and that from other sources. It does not attempt to comprehensively cover the whole experience of the United States in improving agricultural output and productivity. This report has been prepared under an agreement between AID, U. S. Department of State and ERS, U. S. Department of Agriculture, providing for research on factors associated with changes and differences in agricultural production in less developed countries.
