Food in the Third World : past trends and projections to 2000
Updating a 1977 report, this study analyzes recent trends (1961-80) in the production, consumption (for food and animal feed), and trade of basic food staples (including bananas and plantain) in 105 developing countries and uses trends in output and income to project the general size of future food supply for these countries.

Abstract
Projections for the year 2000 are made for the four major developing regions and eleven subregions and for countries grouped by average income, income growth, and food and calorie sufficiency; the nations most likely to face serious deficiencies are identified. Stress is laid on the importance for overall projections of projections made for the People"s Republic of China, which, along with other Asian centrally planned countries, is included in the study. A final chapter discusses the study"s policy implications. Included in the report are 25 tables and appendices presenting study data and methodologies, the system used to classify the countries studied, and a comparison of study projections with those in a 1981 study by the Food and Agriculture Organization.
