Abstract: Agricultural production in 1972 declined in the USSR and the People's Republic of China (PRC), due mainly to weather problems which reduced most major crops. Livestock output in these countries changed relatively little, partly because of much larger purchases of foreign grain. Overall, Eastern Europe did well with both crops and livestock. The USSR and PRC plan sharp rebounds in total farm output in 1973, while Eastern Europe hopes for continued agricultural progress.
