THE FOOD AND AGRICULTURAL SITUATION IN AFRICA
(Prepared by the" Food and Agriculture" Organization of ■ -
the United Nations) . . '. .
1. Following a rise of about Tper "cent in 1962/63 (much of which, how- ever, represented recovery from the,decline of the previous year) the
continent's agricultural production appears from_preliminary estimates
' to' have, increased by less than'. 1 per.vcent. in. 1963/64. .Although data for
;... the 1964/65 season are still limited^ some decline in'production seems '> ■ li-kel-y—in-North-Wes-t'-Afr-i-ea. -On -a- -per- cap-ir;ta--ba^3rs—the-co-ntinent fs
food production may"now be slightly less than in'the'earlier post-war'
years. ~

2*- Recent developments in agricultural tradeMiave beenimore favourable;^
The large harvests ;;in 1962/63 enabled-£6me reductions in-, food imports ...
during. 1.963. ".jAgricultural export earnings were/some 10 per -c-eht.high'er ' '.
in 1963Tthan the year before, mainly because of a steep rise in prices. ■■■
However, the sharp upturn in prices in 1963 brought only a partial '■' >■..
recovery from the steady deterioration over the previous decade. •...Further more the improvement' in prices seems likely to prove temporary." By" the ■'"'!
third quarter ;of 1964 price quotations for several commodities had."*" '.' declined sharply from earlier peak levels. Although, because of the ' Higher" prices at the beginning of the year and .the., continued.strength, of ..- some commodities,.the average price level in 1.364 appears unlikely to- ,,.'....
change much from that of 1963, a renewed decline seems probable in 1965* * 3. The developments outlined above are discussed in more detail in the ■ ' rest of this paper. Some account is also included of production trends in 64-5009

AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION
4. According the FAO's preliminary estimates Africa's agricultural production was less than 1 per cent greater in 1963/64 than the year
before (Table. 1.). This.may be compared with.the rate of population
growth of more than 2 per cent per year, but more significant than this comparison-for a single year- is that for the last few years'now per caput food production appears to■have been-slightly less in the earlierpost-war years.

(a) Main Commodi1d_6H
■5. Although the continent's total agricultural production index in 1963/64 registered only a small rise, there were sharp change* in the
production of a number of individual commodities as shown in the Anne*
Table. African wheat production in 1963/64 was 17 per cent more than the previous year, with record harvests in the UAH and South Africa South Africa's maiza crop was reduced by some 2V per cent owing to one
of the worst droughtc for many years,
6. The production of millet and sorghums, and of suoh other important
staple foods as cassava, yams and sweet potatoes., appears to be increasing gradually. It should, hove^r,- be stressed that the statistical data of production of these staple foods, ihich are usually produced en SuV / sistence basis, are still far from adequate, The output of ^ivestock products, for.whxch data are even more scanty, is probably also expanding gradually with the increasing measures undertaken by governments to" make- better use of their countries' considerable livestock resources.
7. Among other food products, We were particularly sharD increases in the production of olive oil and s:Jgar in 1963/64. Africa's output of olive oil was 56 per cent aore than tho previous year, with increases of some 70 per cent in Tunisia and 13 per cent in Algeria, Continuing, its "
strong upward trend, sugar production increased by some 12 per cent with record harvests in South Africa, Mauritius, UAE, and Southern Rhodesia The continent's output of pain, kernels and palm oil rose by 7 and * per •■
cent respectively in 1963/64 as a result of sharply increased output in Nigeria offsetting setbacks in Congo (Leopoldville) and Sierra Leone, ■
8. Besides maize, the main decreases, in food production occurred -or wine
cocoa and groundnuts, Africa's wine production, which has declined in
each year since 1959/60, dropped by 7 per cent in 1963/64, owing to a 15 per cent fall in Algeria's output, the principal producer.. Cocoa output fell by about 2 per cent in 1963/64 due to declines in production of 6 per cent in Ghana and 9 per cent in Ivory Coast, though Nigeria's
cocoa harvest was the second largest'on record. A 10 B9P cent drop in
e/cn.14/320
Page 4
Nigeria's groundnut crop and a 23 per cent fall in South Africa were
partly offset by increases in Senegal and-Niger-, and Africans total ground nut production in 1963 declined by about 3 per centt
9- The largest-increase-in'production of non-food commodities occurred
in tobacco, witiu a ri3e of mere than 20 per cent." The 1963/64 totacco
harvest in Southern. Rhodesia increased oy almost half, Coffea production
in 1963/64 increased by some 2 per cent, the record coffee harvest in Ivory Coast having been largely offset by sharp fails iri Angola and JMadagascar*
Tea production again.increased, slightly-with record production in Kenya and despite setbacks in Malawi and Mozambique. With bumper sisal harvests in Kenya and Mozambique and a further record output in both Tanganyika and Angola, Africa's sisal production was 5 per cent more than the previous"
year. .. . ... . ■ .-■ ■.:. •
10, Cotton output, which accounts for aome 40 per cent of the continent's
total non-food production,, declined by 5 per "cent.. The 1963/64 cotton
crop in Sudan fell by more than 20 per cent owing to pests and bad weather, and the UAH's production wac. also 3 per .cent less: than-the year'before,.
Though of much less significance: to the continent's total "output, the cotton harvest in Chad was more than halved. ■:'■■■
(b) Sub-regional production
11. Information on a sub—regional basis, rather than estimates . for tb-e..- continent as a whole, is likely to show a better picture of.the food and . ■ agricultural situation in Africa. It is still not possible to maka a ■ full sub-regional breakdown^ though such PAO'country production ir.dioes
as are available' (they are not yet available for 1963/64) enable a rough
division of .the continent into three sub-regions as shown in Table 2V
12., It is clear from the Table that agricultural production .in. the 'three -.
North-West African countries, Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia,; has-bean ■ ■ characterized by steep annual fluctuatiojns... This has been largely due to, a very irregular rainfall, while the output of olive oil, one of the:
principal products"in this part of the continent, tends to follow a two--

'" (G') Froductiori Prospects for 1964/65 _ "'
U/-"vAt the time'''of writing (October, ^964) there^is only limited informaltion available on the likely level of the current 1964/65 harvests- .•
Owing to inadequate spring rains wheat-and barley crops in both Algeria. ,.
and; Tunisia are expected^to be" somewhat smaller than 1963/64 record
"production, but"Morocco's harvests are likely to be higher. South Africa's
"'vh' '-£t" crop is'"rcp"6rtea""tb""be'very promi's~i"ng arid-marae-production is ex pected to'make a recovery from'last year's low level. The Tunisian °Hve- oil o-op is likely to increase for the third year in succession.
1_S. "A-good cocoa crop has'been iforcast for Ghana, and both Nigeria and Senegal expect larga groundra.it crops for 1964/65- Coffee production in
Ivory Coast is likely to decline from the record 1963/64.harvest. Pros
pects for.cbife.e -in, the- Malagasy Republic are reported to be, excellent...More sugar-is likely to'be-available in 1964/65, with the estimated increaso:of-South African sugar output - offsetting the substantially reduced production forecast for Mauritius sugar crop. The UAH's cotton crop is estimated to increase by about 7 per cent and with good pros
pects in both Sudan and Uganda, the continent's cotton production in 1964/65
is likely to be much higher than in previous seasons.

. AGRICULTURAL EXPORTS ■ . . . ,
16. Hitherto, "because.-of the almost continuous decline in the unit value of exports since the early 1950s, Africa's agricultural export: proceeds have* generally failed to "keep- up-" with the. steady increase in the volume
of shipments. Contrary to this trend earnings (at current prices)'rose by
more than-10 percent in 1963, although there-was only a slight further increase in tt3 volume of shipments (Table 3). What is more important is that the ."real" value of the. continent1 s earnings in terms of. their purchasing power for manufactured goods also ros.e by an equal amount, as.prices of manu factured goods; in world trade remained alnost. the same in 1963 as in :I962.
.Thus, for the:first time since the early-1960s there was an.appreciable im provement.in the.terms of trade of African agricultural exports.

goods in world trade.
(a) Main Commodities
17. Out of the three main export commodity groups the .largest increas.e in earnings was registered by food and feeding stuffs, for which proceeds..in 1963 were 28 per cent higher than in 1962, largely due to a sharp rise in
E/CN.14/320 Page 8
the unit value (Table 4)• 'A substantial volume of the continent's sugar
.exports, apart from those covered by special long-term and fixed-price
trade arrangements.(such as the Commonwealth Sugar Agreement), benefited from a rise of well over -1.00. per cent in the ."free market" price of sugar in 1963,. resulting from the general shortage of sugar in world markets.
As.a .result, sugar export proceeds in 1963 were more than twice as high as in 1962. Earrings from grain exports rose by 28 per cent in 1963 largely due ;to a substantial increase in the volume of exports,■particularly the 300 per cent.increase.in the volume of barley shipments to. a record level.
There was also;.;a general upswing in .grain prices, although wheat prices fell appreciably. For. the. sub-group vegetable, oils and. oilseeds, e.arnings increased- by about -5 percent as. .a result of small'increases in both ;the average prices and volume of shipments. Olive oil prices in 1963 were 45 per cent higher than in 1962, but due to a decline of 16 per cent in volume, proceeds only increased by-2-T-per.cent-.-- ■ -Earnings ;from .groundnut oil and palm kernel "oil .declined by^6 and 13 .per cent respectively in 1963_» as a result of 9 per cent drop in the prices of the former and a 24 per cent decline in the"volume~ of the'lafter ~ * ""'
18. .Export earnings from agricultural raw materials in 19^3? which ac
counted for about a quarter of the continent's total earnings froia agri cultural exports, were some 11 per cent higher than the previous year, - again largely due to substantial improvement in prices-. Sisal-prices- which rose by more than 50 per cent, reached the highest level since .1952 but earnings increased by 41 per cent owing to a slight fall in the
volume of shipments. Increases in cotton and wool prices also contributed considerably to the increase in earnings for raw materials. The only.major
■exception-to- the-general- improvement in prices within this group was for rubber, where a 6 per cent fall in prices combined with a small rise in volume, reduced earnings by some 5 Per cent.
19. In recent years the proceeds from exports of beverage's and tobacco group have made the largest contribution to the continent's total agri cultural export earnings. However, in 1963 proceeds from these commodities
E/CN.14/320
Page 9- ,
declined by 5 per cent and were smaller than those from the food and feed stuff group. This unfavourable outcome was largely caused by sharp drops in
the" volume" of c6cba"and~wine'- exports; -Africa-1 s^cocoa^-exports-dropped by
■ some 7- per cent from the record level in 1962, but as prices rose by 5 per cent, proceeds declined only by some 3 per cent.-' With a sharp drop in Algeria's exports in 19.63, the continent's wine exports were almost halved and reached the lowest level since 1950. On the other hand there was an increase in earnings from all the other commodities in this group.
Coffee" proceeds rose-by nearly 10 per-cent,-through the combined effect! of some 3 per cent rise in prices and a 7 per cent increase in volume. Simi larly with a 7 per cent rise in prices and a small increase in volume,
: tobacco earnings increased by 9 per cent. The effect of some 5 per cent '• "
increase in tea prices was' slightly reduced by a decline in the volume of exports, and earnings from tea exports in 1963 were about 3 per cent higher.'
(c) Price trends ' ( . . , ■ . ' . '
20. The sharp upturn of export prices in 1963 was the first major increase in international prices for agricultural products since the Korean War boom. Mainly due to- changes in the world supply situation, price quotation for many commodities started rising towards the end of 1962 arid continued to do eo with some fluctuation through 1963, and for some commodities well
into 1964. It should, however, be no^ed that this steep rise in,-1963 only
represented a small recovery from the continuous decline of agricultural .exports .prices for many years past. -Despite- this substantial favourable development, the prices of many export commodities were still a good dealless than during the middle of the 1950s.' Cocoa prices'in 1963 for ex-
- ample,-were only about-half of 'their-1955' virile, while coffee prices" ' ~ ":
declined by a third, cotton by 13 per cent, and groundnuts by 15 per cent during the same period. However, sisal prices are an important exception as they have been rising almost uninterrupted in recent years.
21. As noted earlier, the recovery in prices of agricultural products in 1963 has resulted in a substantial improvement in Africa's export
1/ Since the preparation of this report, the world cocoa market has
greatly worsened. Output has increased, prices and earnings have fallen sharply. These market phenomena indicate once again the dif ficulty of developing countries in financing investment by reliance
upon such export earnings.

25. The principal exception to the general decline in the continent's food imports was for dairy products (chiefly evaporated, condensed and , powde.red milk) which in 1963 rose by some 7 per cent in volume to a level
twice as high as the 19.52-56 average. Although the value of these imports rose by some 8 per cent this did not constitute an additional drain on the continent's scarce foreign exchange resources as most of the dairy pro ducts were obtained on special terms.
26. Africa is a considerable net exporter of agricultural products and in 1963 the volume of its gross imports amounted only .to about a quarter of its gross exports. Since 1957 the continent's net exports have been sub jected to a constant and fairly rapid increase. In 1963 the rise in net
ii/UH: 14/J20 Page 13
was smaller than in earlier years as gross exports increased only a little However, contrary to the past trend, the growth rate of net exports in 1963 was much higher than that of gross exports because of the reduction
in agricultural imports,
27. If food products alone are considered, the continent's net exports have reoovered appreciably in recent years after their sharp decUne in 1959 and 196O. m 1963, net exports of food and feed products rose ap-m by one third. For a number of foodstuffs including dairy products Africa still remains a large net importer. Ote continent has also continuously
been a net importer of grains since 1959.
