South Pacific Agricultural Survey 1979

This volume examines current development trends in agriculture, fishery and forestry in theh Pacific Islands and the broader context of fiscal, social and economic conditions in which these developments are taking place. The book falls into four parts: the first dealing with the broader context; the second dealing with the present conditions and likely trends in agriculture, livestock, forestry and fishery; the third outlining particular conditions in the 7 Pacific Island Developing Member Countries of the Asian Development Bank and the fourth addressing general regional issues and the role of mutilateral aid organisations within the region. Although prepared primarily as a report for use by the Asian Development Bank, the book should be of interest to a wide range of people concerned with the Pacific Islands. It should serve as a basic document for policy makers as well as for those with academic or general interest in the region. It is the first such broad survey of agriculture in the Pacific Islands region
