Book Description
Excerpt from Summary and Evaluation of Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Barbados, and British Guiana: Projected Levels of Demand, Supply, and Imports of Agricultural Products to 1975 Trinidad and Tobago; and the Leeward Islands, the Windward Islands, and Barbados.dominated by the petroleum and asphalt industries of Trinidad, the bauxite industries of Jamaica and British Guiana, and the rapidly expanding tourist industry of the area as a whole. However, the importance of other industries has been increasing in recent years. The major objective of the study was to obtain a projection of the import demand of the area for specified agricultural products for 1965, 1970, and 1975. (these years are generally retained in the summary tables; the text discussion, however, is largely limited to 1975 projections.) Four subsidiary objectives were: To develop long-range projections for the economy, including forecasts of gross national product; to estimate aggregate demand for the specified products; to determine the magnitude of domestic supplies of these products; and to ascertain the extent of import demand or export availability for these products on the basis oflong - term supply and demand relationships. The following agricultural products were analyzed: Wheat and wheat flour; corn; rice; other grains, such as oats and barley; sugar; vegetables, including Irish potatoes; deciduous fruits, such as apples and pears; citrus fruit; bananas; meat, including poultry; eggs; dairy products; fats and oils; coffee; cocoa; tobacco; and cotton.

Book Description
Excerpt from Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Leeward Islands, Windward Islands, Barbados, and British Guiana: Projected Levels of Demand, Supply, and Imports of Agricultural Products to 1975 The major objective of the study was to obtain a rational projection of the import de mand of the West Indies Federation by 1965 and 1975 for specified and other agricultural products. The contract - also specified four subsidiary objectives: (1) Develop long-range projections for the economy, including forecasts of gross national income, etc; (2) esti mate aggregate demand for the specified products in 1965 and 1975; (3) determine the magnitude of domestic supplies of these products by 1965 and 1975; and (4) ascertain the extent of import demand for these products by 1965 and 1975 on the basis of long-term supply-and-demand relationships. Analysis was required for the following products Wheat and wheat flour; corn; rice; other grains, such as oats and barley; sugar and its products; vegetables, including Irish potatoes; deciduous fruits, such as apples and pears; citrus fruit; bananas; meat, including poultry; eggs; dairy products; fats and oils; coffee; cocoa; tobacco; and cotton. In addition, other commodities were to be covered if the need was revealed as the study developed. The contract was entered into in May 1960 with the final report to be submitted in a form suitable for publication in 30 months. At the time the study was undertaken the area covered was the newly formed West Indies Federation which was slated to become a nation within the British Commonwealth. Subsequently, the Federation disbanded with Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago becoming independent, British Guiana scheduled for independence, and Barbados and the Windward Islands (grenada, St. Vincent, St. Lucia and Dominica) and the Leeward Islands (antigua, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, and Montserrat) remaining as British Dependencies. The area under study represents a small but important and rapidly growing market for U. S. Agricultural exports. Such exports totalled million in 1958 and reached million in 1962, an increase of nearly 50 percent. U. S. Agricultural exports to the area in 1962 represented 7 percent of the total for Latin America. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
