AGRICULTURAL PERFORMANCE IN EASTERN EUROPE, 1987

Abstract: Growth in the centrally planned economies of Eastern Europe has slowed during the 1980's and in 1987 was set back by declines in agricultural output. However, with the exception of 1987, the region's deficit in agricultural trade has been improving, primarily because of generally increased production and decreased imports of grain. Intentions to boost livestock product exports, as well as raise living standards by supplying more meat to domestic consumers, necessitate continued imports of protein feedstuffs (oilseeds and oilseed meals).
