Abstract: Africa's 1 percent gain in agricultural output last year trailed the long-term average increase of 3 percent per year. West Asia's total agricultural output held at the same level as in I969, falling well below the long-term trend of a 4 percent per year increase. Both areas endured declines in per capita food production. The report gives the early-season outlook for 1971 production and trade of selected commodities and countries, reviews country trade in farm products, and cites U. S. agricultural trade with African and West Asian countries.
