Abstract: Excerpt from the report Foreword: The major objective of the study was to obtain a rational projection of the import demand of the West Indies Federation by 1965 and 1975 for specified and other agricultural products. The contract also specified four subsidiary objectives: (1) Develop long-range projections for the economy, including forecasts of gross national income, etc; (2) estimate aggregate demand for the specified products in 1965 and 1975; (3) determine the magnitude of domestic supplies of these products by 1965 and 1975; and (4) ascertain the extent of import demand for these products by 1965 and 1975 on the basis of long-term supply-and-demand relationships. Analysis was required for the following products: Wheat and wheat flour; corn; rice; other grains, such as oats and barley; sugar and its products; vegetables, including "Irish" potatoes; deciduous fruits, such as apples and pears; citrus fruit; bananas; meat, including poultry; eggs; dairy products; fats and oils; coffee; cocoa; tobacco; and cotton. In addition, other commodities were to be covered if the need was revealed as the study developed.
