Economic bulletin for Africa, vol. IX, no. 2

Abstract

In the last two and one-half years the Bulletin has treated problems of African industrialization,planning, and trade. It was thus felt that the critical agricultural sector would be appropriate for examination in the present edition. Since broad coverage was considered desirable, a sub-regional approach was chosen. At the time of preparation of this edition, two recent studies had been completed by the Joint ECA/FAO Agricultural Development Division on the East African and North African sub-regions. The articles in this Bulletin are selected edited portions of these studies.
