Regional problems and policies

The previous chapter reviewed briefly the main developments in the world food and agriculture situation in 1953/54, discussed some recent trends, and reached tentative conclusions on prospects for 1954/55. The chapter which follows examines the impact of the situation now emerging on the problems of agriculture in each region of the world, and the shifts in agricultural policy which are being made in consequence. In spite of large differences in conditions and problems, a number of common trends seem to be emerging in the agricultural policies of many, though not all, countries in widely separated regions, and some comment on these trends may be useful before proceeding to a region-by-region discussion.
