International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD)

The annual report of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) to its Governing Council for the year 1978 pointed out that the rate of growth of food production in most of the developing countries, according to reliable studies, continued to be grossly inadequate. Only a few developing countries had been able to achieve the annual growth target of 4 per cent set for the decade in the International Development Strategy. In most other countries the annual increase in food production had been about 2 per cent or below, and in a few cases food production had actually declined.
