Abstract: Soviet 1973 agricultural production increased sharply compared with the disappointing 1972 level. Unusually good weather resulted in record or near-record crops. Livestock gains were modest but should increase more rapidly in 1974. Compared with 1973, crop production in 1974 is expected to be off somewhat unless weather again is unusually good. Soviet grain and oilseed import requirements are down sharply because of good 1973 crops.
