PROSPECTS FOR AGRICULTURE
IN COMMUNIST COUNTRIES AS OF MID-AUGUST 1965
Production of crops in the USSR this year will be well below the; excellent
harvest of 1964, but livestock production is expected to be substantially im-
proved. An extensive drought in the "new lands" area combined with poor
harvesting weather in other areas adversely affected grain producti~an, tenta-
tively estimated at about 10 to 15 percent below that of 1964. >~~ The current
wheat crop is likely to be some'10 to 20 percent below that of 1964, ;prompt-
ing the USSR to purchase more than 7 million metric tons (mt) of wheat from
Western sources since the first of July. >,,~ With these purchases, the USSR
apparently has covered most of its wheat import requirements as foreseen at
.this stage of the harvest If adverse weather in September were seriously
to impede the harvest of spring wheat, however, it is likely that the USSR
would seek to purchase additional quantities abroad.
The total grain harvest in Eastern Europe is currently estimated to be
about 5 percent below last year's good crop. Production of breadgz~ain is
up in most countries, but the quality of the grain is down in the noY~thern
countries because of wet harvesting conditions. Production of moss: spring-
planted grains, especially corn, and other craps is not expected to be as
good as in 1964. In some cauntries, local shortages of bread and hoarding
of flour have been reported, Imports of grain in 1965/66 could exceed the
9 million mt imported during the 1964/65 trade ye ax, when nearly E. million
mt came from the Free World. Eastern Europe already has agreernents
and contracts with Free World nations and with the USSR for imports during
the 1965/66 trade year totaling some 5 million to 5. 5 million rnt and may
still be in the market for as much as 3. 5 million to 5 million mt. Limited
wheat supplies and transport capabilities in other exporting countries sug-
gest that Eastern Europe might seek to purchase some 2 million to 4 mil-
lion mt of US wheat. The cauntri.es most likely to approach the US for
wheat are Yugoslavia, Poland, and Czechoslovakia. Of these, only Yugo-
slavia purchased US wheat in 1964/65.
It now appears that in 1965 the harvest of grain in Communist (:,hina
will be somewhat less than the mediocre crop of last year, The harvest
of early grain -- tentatively estimated.to be 40 million mt -- is believed
to be 5 million mt less than last year Although it is too early to predict
what the more important late (fall) harvest of grain will be, prospects
currently do not promise s.n increase in production sufficient to offf~et the

poor early harvest. Growing conditions are currently believed to be
generally favorable in most of the major rice-growing areas but are
unfavorable in much of northern China, where most of the fall-harvested
miscellaneous grains and spring wheat are grown. Chinese purchases
of wheat during 1965 now total a record 5. 8 million mt, ?~= of which about
1 million mt is expected to be delivered in the first half of 1'965.
North Vietnam apparently has harvested another bumper spring rice
crop as well as a record level of subsidiary crops. Nevertheless, unless
the fall crop is unusually goad, the current harvest will provide only tempo-
rary relief to the tight food situation.
The outlook for grain in North Korea is for a second successive poor
harvest, and the regime may be forced t~o increase imports significantly.
Agricultural prospects in the USSR as of mid-August are somewhat
mixed. Production of crops almost certainly will be below the excellent
harvest of 1954, but production of livestock is expected to be considerably
above that of last year.
In mid-July, Soviet Minister of Agriculture Ivlatskevich described
prospects for the grain harvest as about average.. Since then, however,
a continuation of a drought almost as severe as that of 1953 in the "new
lands" area and poor harvesting conditions resulting from excessive rain-
fall in many parts of European USSR have dealt a double blow to the grain
crop. It is tentatively estimated that grain production in the USSR this
year will be some 10 to 15 percent below last year's estimated crop of
120 million mt {excluding immature Dorn converted to grain equivalents).
The Soviet wheat crop, reportedly described as "poor" by a Soviet
official, has been especially hard hit. Production is expected to be some
10 to 20 percent below the 58 million mt estimated for 1964. A prolonged
and severe drought in the "new lands, "which is 'the principal region pro-
ducing spring wheat, has adversely affected production of spring wheat,
although the situation is not believed to be as serious as that of 1953. A
generally good winter wheat crop has been produced, but excessive rainfall
in many areas has hampered harvesting operations and has resulted in
abnormally high losses as well as in some reduction in the quality of grain.
~= According to preliminary estimates, about 5. 4 million mt were imported
during the crop year {July-June) 195/55. Contracts signed as of 15 August
1965 call for imports of about 4. 1 million mt in the crop year 1965/65; new
contracts far delivery of additional quantities of grain in 1955/65 are expected.

Soviet concern over the domestic wheat situation, which will directly
affect food supplies, has already been demonstrated by the purchase since
July of more than 7 million mt of wheat from Western suppliers.. A small
part of these purchases will be used to meet export commitments. In addi-
tion, the Soviet press has been waging a vigorous campaign stressing the
need to harvest "every kernel of grain. " The new purchase prices adapted
in March 1965 are expected to facilitate the procurement of grain b~y the
state. Although the wheat situation in the USSR does not appear to be as
critical as in 1963, the Soviet consumer may once again be subjected t:o an
overall reduction in the quality of bread and a continuation of the ak>sence
of flour in retail outlets and limitation on the amount of bread that can be
purchased at one time.
A shortage of food similar to that of 1963/64, however, is not likely.
Unlike 1963, when all crops except cotton suffered from drought, fairly
good craps of potatoes, sugar beets, vegetables, and sunflowers are
expected. There is some indication, however, that production of potatoes
has been affected to s.orne degree by the rainy weather in certain a~~eas.
An excellent crop of fiber flax has been produced in most areas, although
there have been some difficulties with harvesting because of lodging. On
the other hand, a shortage of water for irrigation is expected to reduce
production of cotton somewhat.
Livestock production in 1965 is expected to be the best in a number
of years. For example, milk yields in collective and state farms ~~re cur-
rently the highest in five years as a result of a goad carryover of feed from
the 1964 harvest and of favorable pasture growth. The production of feed
crops is expected to be good in many parts of European USSR where: most
of the livestock industry is concentrated, In the areas affected by the
drought, supplies of livestock feed have been adversely affected, a:nd some
distress slaughtering of animals probably will occur, although a situation
similar to that in 1963 when the number of hogs was reduced by more than
40 percent is highly unlikely.
2. Eastern Europe
The final outcome of the 1965 grain harvest in the Communist coun-
tries of Eastern Europe~~~ remains uncertain because of unfavorable harvest-
ing conditions and a delayed harvest in several countries. It is tentatively
estimated that output of wheat and rye will exceed last year's

good harvest in all countries except Albania, Hungary, and Yugoslavia.
Record yields of winter wheat are being claimed by some countries. The
northern. countries, nevertheless, are currently harvesting wet and lodged.
grain, which can reduce yields and lower the milling quality of grain. The
outlook for coarse grains (barley, oats, and corn} is not as favorable as
for breadgrains, and output, especially for corn, may fall well below that
of 1964. Thus the overall production of grain in Eastern Europe this year
is currently estimated at about 5 percent below that of 1964, ar approxi-
mately equal to the annual average for 1957 -6I .
Wet: cool weather since last spring, which delayed planting and
retarded crop development throughout much of Eastern Europe, continued
to plague agriculture in the northern countries during July and early August.
Furthermore, storms, hail, and wind increased the area of lodged grain --
50 percent of the grain acreage in Czechoslovakia -- and has made harvest-
ing o-perations the most difficult in many years. As a result, the grain.
harvest in parts of East Germany, Poland, and Czechoslovakia is as much
as four weeks behind schedule. Iviilitary personnel and. industrial workers
in those countries are being used extensively in the harvest to prevent
losses. Reports of the delivery of unripe grain and with nearly 30 percent
moisture content, however, portend high storage losses. The southern
countries are completing their harvest of small grains under relatively
favorab-le conditions.
Production prospects for nearly all row crops are currently not as
good as a year ago. Planted acreage for the important crops of potatoes
and sugar beets is down, and. potential yields have been. adversely affected
by weeds, unfavorable weather conditions, insects, and late planting.
The level of corn production that will be obtained this year in the Balkans
is expected to fall below that of 1964. Although soil moisture conditions
are good in both Yugoslavia and Hungary, a shorter growing season may
prevent all the crops from maturing. In Rumania, Bulgaria, and Albania,
yields of corn as well as other summer crops are being adversely affected
by drought.
Forage crops and pastures have generally benefited from good soil
moisture this spring and summer Although some countries have had
difficulties in haying operations as a result of rain, yields are at record.
levels, except for Bulgaria and Rumania. Production and procurement
of milk and meat in Pt}land, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia are higher
this year than last as a result of the good fodder situation. A shortfall in
output of feed grain and potatoes, however, will depress production of
meat in 1966.

Consumer supplies of green vegetables, fruit, and early potatoes
continue to be tighter and higher priced than a year ago with no relief
in sight. The availability of pork is generally better than a year ago,
but beef and veal continue to be in short supply. There are reports
that retail outlets in East Germany and Poland are limiting purchasE:s
of sugar and flour to prevent hoarding. An excellent wheat harvest in
Bulgaria, however, should contribute toward eliminating the bread
shortage in that country.
It is estimated that Eastern Europe will need to import approximately
9 million to 10 million rnt of grain in 1965/66. This amount is approxi-
mately the same as imports in 1964/65 (estimated at 9 million mt), of
which nearly b million mt (mostly wheat) came from the Free World. The
projected shortfall in the Soviet wheat harvest will mean that Eastern
Europe must depend on the Free World for most of its grain imports.
Except for honoring its long-term agreements, it is unlikely that the USSR
will expend hard currency to purchase grain for Eastern Europe. Rumania,
the only net exporter of grain, may be forced to reduce exports of corn
as a result of a short crop.
3? Communist China
The 1965 harvest of early grain in Communist China is tentatively
estimated to be 40 million mt, or some 5 million mt below the spring
harvest of 1964. The early grain harvest,. consisting of winter wheat,
winter miscellaneous grains, and early rice, normally accounts for about
one-quarter of the annual production of grain. Although the output of early
rice is believed to be about 1 million mt greater than the above-average
crop of 1964, the increase is not sufficient to compensate for the ver~,r poor
harvest of winter grains.
Growing conditions for early rice were better than last year in most
of the major early rice area, which was up about 350, 000 hectares. ][n
the major producing areas, only in Chekiang. was the early rice crop
reduced- significantly by drought. Although wet, cool weather in April
reportedly caused some seed rot in Hunan and Kiangsi Provinces and
typhoons caused some plant losses in Kwangtung and Fukien, overall
losses are not believed to have been as high as in 1964.
The harvest of winter wheat and winter miscellaneous grains, although
better than in the calamity years (1959-61), was very poor. The acreage
of winter wheat and winter miscellaneous grains is estimated to have k>eer~

10 and z5 percent less than in 1964, respectively. Yields of winter grain
were also significantly less than last year, Prolonged rainfall throughout
most of the fall sowing period delayed or prohibited the sowing of winter
wheat in many areas of North, East, and Northwest China and. the sowing
of winter barley in East, Central, and Southwest China. In addition,
many fields had to be replanted when seed failed to germinate. The
weather then turned unusually dry, warm, and windy, crusting the soil
and retarding plant growth. Drought conditions, prevailing throughout the
winter and spring months, adversely affected yields of winter grain, Attempts
to recoup losses of winter grain by planking such rapidly maturing crops as
buckwheat, spring wheat, and barley were only partly successful,
Prospects for the more important fall grain harvest are mixed. Growing
conditions remained generally favorable through July in most of the major
rice-producing areas of South, Central, and Southwest China. Although
below-normal precipitation in some of these areas has caused some concern
about the intermediate and. late rice crops, it is doubtful that yields will
be affected unless the drought persists. The combined acreage of inter-
mediate and late rice probably is about the same as in 1964? It now appears
likely that the late rice harvest will be better than the below-average
harvest of last year.
In contrast with the good prospects far late rice, those for other late
crops are generally unfavorable . In much of the T*Torth China Flain, which
accounts for about one-fifth of China?s cultivated araa and for roughly
15 percent of the autumn-harvested grain excluding tubers), yields have
been adversely affected by excessive rainfall. Light to heavy rainfall has
fallen continuously in the area south of the Yellow River from late June
through mid-August. This rainfall has caused flooding and waterlogging
in some areas, although the size of the area affected cannot be determined
at this time. P~Torth of the Yellow River, precipitation remained below
normal through 3uly. Although the plan for sowing sprint craps on winter
fallow was underfulfilled, the acreage sown was significantly larger than
in 1964. There also was same substitution of grain far industrial crops,
especially cotton. The summer sowing plan { $clime fields were too dry
winter crops) also was underfulfilled because
for planting.
The outlook for spring wheat is unsatisfactory as a result of prolonged
drought that will reduce yields in much of the major producing area. In
addition, the area of spring wheat probably is smaller than in 1964.

Communist China is continuing to import considerable quantities of
grain from the Free World. The contract signed in July with Canada for
an additional 670, 000 mt of wheat brings the total known purchases of
grain from the Free World in 1965 to a record 6. 8 million mt, of which
about 1 million mt is expected to be delivered in the first half of 19(16.
4. North. Vietnam
Despite earlier reports of low rainfall, North Vietnamese officials
now claim that the spring-harvested rice crop -- normally about one--third
of the annual rice harvest -- has been good. On the basis of official state-
ments-, the spring rice crop, sown on a larger area than in 1964, is Esti-
mated at 1. 8 million mt, about 40, 000 mt above last year's bumper crop.
Production of subsidiary crops -- corn, manioc, sweet potatoes, and
green beans -- also apparently was somewhat above last year's record
level of more than 800, 000 mt in rice equivalents. =,~ Nevertheless, unless
the fall crop is unusually good, the current harvest will provide only
temporary relief to the tight food situation.
Bombing attacks by US planes reportedly have interfered with food
distribution, and local food shortages have been reported.
Overall production of .grain in North Korea this year may be eve~z less
than the very poor harvest of last year. Major agricultural areas suffered
from excessive rainfall, heavy flooding, or waterlogging and from px?o-
longed cloudy weather throughout July. The west coastal region of Nox?th
Korea -- where most of the country's crops are grown -- received f:rorn
8 to more than 21 inches of rain during July -- more than 200 percent of
normal in some areas.
In recent years, North Korea has been self-sufficient in the production
of grain, but at a low level of per capita consumption. Small quantities
of wheat have been imported annually for industrial use. The poor 1'964
harvest, however, probably has reduced stocks to near minimum levels,
and rations of foodstuffs were reported to have been reduced. Another
poor harvest may force Nortlz Korea to significantly increase import;
of grain during 1965/66.
'~= Subsidiary crops are converted to paddy rice equivalents on the basis
of one unit of beans or corn or four units of sweet potatoes or manioc to
one unit of paddy rice.
