Abstract: This report presents the principal commodity supply and demand projections for Hong Kong and the implications for its foreign trade, particularly with the United States. Of major importance are Hong Kong's expanding population, rising per capita income, limited farmland, and consequent declining self-sufficiency in agricultural production. Projections for 1980 made by the Economic Research Center of the Chinese University of Hong Kong indicate that net food import requirements will increase by 115 percent over the 1964 level.
