Abstract: Mainly because of dry weather, Africa's agricultural output fell 4- percent in 1973. West Asia's agricultural production was down about 7 percent. Per capita food production dropped 6 percent in Africa and 10 percent in West Asia. This report reviews the 1973 agricultural year in selected African and West Asian countries, gives the outlook for 1973 production and trade of selected commodities, and cites 1973 U.S. agricultural trade with the countries.
