Book Description
Excerpt from Food Balances for 12 Countries in the Far East and Oceania, 1959-61 Population data used to determine per capita consumption are estimates for mid-1960. Unless otherwise noted, production data are official usda estimates prepared by the Foreign Agricultural Service or official statistics of foreign governments. Where such published data are not available, estimates have been made by the Econ omio Research Service, and these are marked by an asterisk There is a general tendency for figures on agricultural production to be biased downward for many reasons. There is a similar tendency for estimates of the population to be too low, although cases are believed to exist of inflation in both production and population statistics. Statistics of international trade are usually adequate, although it has been necessary for some countries to supplement the official foreign trade statistics with figures relating to unreported imports.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food Balances in Foreign Countries, Vol. 2: Estimates for 12 Countries in the Far East The Far East, excluding Mainland China, has more than 850 million people or about 30 percent of the world's population. It is predominantly agricultural. Nearly 70 percent of the people are dependent on agriculture for their livelihood. Output per person is low because farms are small and the scientific and mechanical advances made in the West have been applied only in a limited way in this part of the world. Certain commercial creps such as rubber, cotton, and tobacco are grown with advantage, but emphasis is on the production of subsistence creps. About 85 percent of the total agricultural output consists of food cr0ps; this proportion remains virtually unchanged from prewar. Domestic food production is supplemented by substantial net imports of food grains averaging about 10 million tons annually in recent years. This is a considerable share of the total world trade, and com pares with net exports of almost 3 million tons prewar. Nevertheless, it is less than 5 percent of the food consumption in the region. With low per capita output of food and of products that can be traded for food, consumption levels are low. Average food consumption for the region as a whole, in terms of energy value, is estimated at only calories per person per day, or well below the average for most other underdeveloped regions, including Western Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Variation among countries within the Far East is relatively slight-from about in Pakistan to somewhat more than in Japan, Taiwan, and Singapore. Variation within countries is almost cer tain to be much greater. The composition of the diet varies widely. Grain con sumption is highest in Northeast Asia, but throughout the region it is higher than in most countries of the Western World. In only a few countries of the Far East does grain account for less than two-thirds of the total calories. Animal protein foods are consumed, but Sparingly. In such populous countries as India, Pakistan, and Indonesia they contribute less than 5 percent of the energy value of the food supply. Even in Japan, where fish is an important source of protein, the amount of animal protein in the diet is small compared to vegetable protein, obtained mostly from grains and pulses. The share of fats in the diet is highest in Singapore and the Federation of Malaya and lowest in South Korea. Fruits and vegetables are most important in Ceylon, Indonesia and the Philippines, where fresh coconuts are consumed in substantial quantities.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food Balances for 8 East European Countries, 1959-61 Eastern Europe's population, 10 percent of the world's population, accounted for 15 percent of the esti mated world caloric intake during 1959-61. This reflects the fact that East Europeans are, on the average, among the one - third of the world's population considered to have adequate diets. Among the adequately fed, however, East European consumers ranked low. On the average, caloric intake was about the same in Eastern and Western Europe. But, calories from grain and potatoes averaged 20 percent higher in Eastern Europe, while animal protein consumption averaged one-third less than in Western Europe.

Book Description
Excerpt from Food Balances for 16 Countries of Western Europe, 1959-61 We stern Europe now supports about 320 million people, a tenth of the world's population. Most countries in the region produce enough food and products that canbe traded for food to maintain consumption at high levels. Although agriculture engages only about one-fifth of the labor force, food production per capita of the total population (excluding food produced from imported feed) compares favorably with production in other regions. Livestock products account for about 60 percent of the value of food output, Western Europe imports the larger part of all food and feed entering inter national trade channels on a commercial basis, including three-fourths of the fats and oils; two-thirds of the eggs, cheese, and butter; half the meat; over one-third of the wheat; two-thirds of the feed grains; and most other feed stuffs. Some of this imported feed is exported in the form of livestock products along with important quantities of fruits, nuts, and olive oil.
