Abstract

The agricultural situation developed unevenly in the Communist areas during 1969. China's progress was most significant, particularly in grain output. The Soviet Union reported declines in all major crops and experienced a 5 percent drop in net agricultural output. Drought in Czechoslovakia, East Germany, and Poland sharply lowered feed supplies. Higher corn production than the previous drought year in Bulgaria, Hungary, Romania, and Yugoslavia improved exports. North Korea, North Vietnam, and Mongolia showed no substantial change from previous years, and Cuba's major effort in 1969/70 is tied to the planned 10 million-ton sugarcane harvest. U.S. exports to Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union declined about 20 percent from the 1968 levels.
