Postwar figures for production and consumption of agricultural products
in the Northeast are too fragmentary to be the basis of any estimates at
present ~94~. Although dislocations due to the war must be evaluated, the
following data, covering basically the years 1937 - 1943 and complete, with
certain exceptions, may be used to make plans for the future.

NOTES 1. Production figures obtained from Manchukuo data; Jehol and Hsingan
nOt inrl,iLled until 1Q37.,
2, For 1934 - 1938, production figurea for vegetable oil materials
are not available in detail; consequently, export figures for these
years are used for production figures; SMR figures are used for
beans and grains.
4. For import figures, flour and rice are calculated in whole grains
(flour is considered 75 percent of original; rice, 70 percent).
5. For export figures, perilla oil is reckoned as 36 percent of whole
seed; other oils, except bean, 21 percent.
6. Among the oil producing seeds, only perilla, hemp, castor, and
sesamum seeds, and peanuts included.
7. Trade controls were enforced in 1939, so figures-for that year are
`estimates? Under the free economy, recorded consumption averaged
13.,400,000 metric tons; under controlled economy, it rose sharply
? to an average of 16,800,000 metric tons. Estimates of 15 million
. ? and 17 million metric tons, respectively, are probably nearer the
truth.

Until 1937 ~i~ imports exceeded exportsa Contrary to the general im-
preseioiS', only in that year did Manchuria become afood-surplus areae
'YlTe increase of consumption over the periods appears small in comparison
with the increase in populationo That no g_+'eat scarcity of food has been felt
is due to the greatly increased production of potatoes, ergo, about 2,100,000

NOTE: The demand for beans in Manchuria during the free economy period was
around 2 million metric tons per annum; under the controlled economy,
it ,jumped to about 2.5 million metric tons as shown in the above table.
There was considerable illegal movement during this time, so the fig-
ures in the "Demand" column should be revised downward to represent
the actu8l quantities,
It is estimated tha$ the average demand during the controlled economy
period, 2,590,000 tons, 'may be divided as follows (on the basis of a 6-year
average): +
Retained on farms: 1,340,000
Marketed 1,250,000
Generally speaking, exports under controlled economy were much less
than under the free economy,
Moat of the 1,590,000 tons of beans marketed in 1943 were taken by the
oil mills, Some 100,000 tons pent to~the military, and a similar amount was
consumed ae food. Under free economy, over one million metric tons probably
went to the oil mills, 50 percent to Dairen, 10 percent to Harbin, and the
remainder to smaller places. Of late, Dairen's share in this industry has
been diminishing.

Bean Cakes
Between 1934 and 1939, the average annual production of bean cakes was
900,000 ta7:;370,000 metric toned Most of this was exported; only about 200,000
metric tons were consumed domestically Under the controlled economy, both
military and civilian consumption increased, as shown belowo
Consumption of Bean Cakes
(In metric tons)
Civilian use of bean cakes has increased 100 percent since the free econ-
omy for two reasonso (11 fertilizers were .required. to enrich soils in the
southern sections and (2) to meet greatly increased demand for tobacco, hemp,
cotton, etc, which need strong fertilizero Bean cakes were used to supple-
ment a decreasing supply of ammonium sulfated In 1942 I,isoning used more bean
cakes for fertilizer than all other provinces combined,
Bean Oil
Between 1934 and 1939, the average annual production of bean oil was es-
timated at -100,000-130,000) metric tons, about half of which was exportedo
Most of the remainder was consumed for food in Manchuria, with a small amount
used for induatriel purposes
The amount used for food was in inverse proportion to the consumption of
animal fats and other vegetable oils, In theory, the total thus used should
increase in proportion to increases in the population, but due to complexity
of factors and lack of data, the figures do not fully bear this out,
Taking 3 kilograms as the ..annual per-capita consumption of all fats and
oils, and the population as 35 million in 1934 and 48 million in 1944, and as-
suming an annual increment of l05 million persons, rie get the following esti-
mated consumption of edible oils:

Under the free economy, some 40-60 percent of edible oils consumed was
bean oilo Under the controlled economy, the individual ration of bean oil was
reduced and a large amount diverted to industry, and fishing, as shown by the

Consumption of bean oil, for food, industrial, and military uses, shows
~ a,consideralrle increase during the period of controlled economy, as compared
i7.~' aith the free economy periodo Yet in the controlled economy period the per-
>' capita ration was reduced to 2 kilograms annually, and even less in the more
~' northern arease
Perilla Seeds and Products
Production of perilla seeds declined from 170,000 metric tons in 1935 to
120,000 in 1938, Exports fell from 120,000 metric tons in 1935 to 50,000 in
1937 Deducting exports, some 60,000 metric tons were consumed annually in
Manchuria, of which about half was retained locally, and the remainder mostly
sold to the oil millsa The principal customer was the Jih-Ch'ing Mill, in
Dairena Under the controlled economy, exports fell almost to a vanishing
point,
In 1943, the domes+.ic demand was about 22,000 metric tons, about half re-
tained on the farm, the other half going to the mills, and a small portion be-
ing used to feed army pigeonso
From 1935 to 1938; about 20,000 tons of perilla oil were produced annu-
ally, mostly used in .the manufacture of painto Perilla products were formerly
an important export, but with lessened supply to the mills, export of perilla
oil fell to about 2,000 tons in 1943, In that year, about 3;600 tons were
produced; 600 tons were used in industry, 1,000 tone by the army, and the rest
went abroado
Production of perilla mash was about 4,800 metric tons is 1943 of which
some 1,500 metric tone went ?to Japan, and the remainder was used in Manchuria
as feed and fertilizer,

Under the free economy, hemp seeds were used mostly on the farms for seed
and food But, as the controlled economy forced a decrease in the production
of perilla seeds, hemp seeds replaced them as a source of oils. Approximate

Castor Seeds, Peanuts, and Their Derivatives
Under the free economy, castor seeds, peanuts, and their derivatives were
mostly marketed, except for small quantities kept for oil and food< Some 5,000
to 10,000 metric tons were used to produce oil, most of xhich was exportedo
About 100,000 metric tons of peanuts were shipped abroad during the free econ-
omy, Under controls, the export of peanuts was greatly reducedo
Production of castor beans was also reduced, but there was forced culti-
vation to supply oil for airplaneso Figures for castor bean products handled

Under the free economy, consumption of rice increased annuallyo With the
coming of controls, there was a sudden drop because natives were not permitted
to eat riceo Even by the time of restoration of Manchuria to China, consump-
tion had not come back to the quantity under free economye

NOTES: 1. Figures from Manchukuo sources. Flour computed as 75 percent of wheat
weight and reduced to wheat at this ratio.
2. Of the average domestic consumption under free economy, about 60 per-
cent or over 500,000 metric tons was marketed. It may be estimated
that 730,000-850,000 tons of flour were processed or imported per
year. This was equivalent to 32,700,000-38,b00,000 bags, at 22 kil-
ograms per tiag. During the free economy period, the per-capita pro-
duction of flour was 22 kilograms, or one bag. Taking the average
population as 35 million, there is a reasonable correlation between
the figures for production and demand as shown above.

Exports of bean cakes and bean oil to other countries, including the US,
show a similar decline in the decade 1934 - 1943 Broadly speaking, of the
total imports of beans by European countries, exclusive of the USSR, during
193LL _ 1938, about half came from Manchukuoe
Of the beans, 444 percent, and of the bean-oil, 26x4 percent, was car-
ried in British ships, 23,.5 percent of the beans, and 49 percent of the bean
oil, in German bottoms Nert in share of t?he total business, came Norway fol-
lowed by Denmark, Greece and Japan
From 1931 to 1943, US production of soybeans increased very rapidly, Prom
455,400 tons to 4,975,487 tons.. This offered serious competition to Manchuria
in world markets, Manchuria must improve and diversify its processing of soy-
beans if' she is to maintain her competitive position

In total exports, of grains, the peak year xas 1926, with a record of
1,705,000 metric tons It is to be noted that the export of wheat reached its
height in 1920 with 875,000 metric tons After that, the proportion of wheat
among exported grains diminished, vanishing altogether in 1939
In 1943, grain exports went to the following places (in metric tons):

Future of Supply and Demand oP Manchurian Farm Products
The demand for food and feed in Manchukuo is very hard to calculated It
is estimated that in 1945 consumption of grains and oils in the rural areas
would be at leas+. 10 million metric tons, and in urban areas, 4 million metric
tons, totaling a minimum of 14 million metric tone for domestic consumption,
In the 5 years, 191+0-b>l, total farm production averaged 18,750,000 tons
Reducing this figure by about 20 percent because of troubled conditions, we
get a production figure of 13,100,000 to 15,000,000 tons f'or i94~:;~~
Taking 15 million as production and 14 million as consumption, we find
that in beans and oils, the supply exceeds demand with a surplus for export;
but in edible grains, demand exceeds supply, thus requiring imported If a
production figure of 13 million tons is assumed, the deficit will be still
larger Due to the repatriation of Korean and Japanese farmers and the
shortage of tools and fertilizers, it will be difficult to augment the rice
supplyo Therefore, at present there may be some beans for export, but grains
will remain insufficient,

In Manchurian farming, r_rop rotation is fundamental; otherwise, there is
sn imbalance between supply and prices, as between grains and beans, Sudden
neglect of crop rotation should be avoided in order not to upset the marketo
As to increasing output, the most improved methods should be used, and a
goal of 17,000,000 tons should be establishedo
