World review

Following two years of generally good harvests in 1975 and 1976, there were much smaller increases in food and agricultural production in 1977. World cereal production declined slightly from the record level of 1976, although remaining close to the long-term upward trend. A number of countries, especially in the Sahelian zone of Africa and in parts of southeast Asia, again faced large food deficits.
