Summary: The year 1983 witnessed some signs of economic revival after several years of deepening recession that has profoundly affected the daily lives of the many millions of people involved in food, agriculture and the rural economy. More recently, the recovery appears to have gained momentum, but its extent, durability and effects on the economic wellbeing of developing countries remain uncertain. International interest rates continue to be at high levels, aggravating the debt burdens facing many developing countries--the total of their debt now exceeds $800 thousand million. At - the same time, protectionist measures have hindered these countries ° efforts to expand their exports to service their debts. Recession has also led to a weakening of agricultural commodity prices in international markets, increased competition in trade in the few agricultural markets that are expanding, and a slackening in the flows of development assistance given under concessional terms. Such problems have borne most heavily on the economically weaker nations. They have had to implement policies curtailing imports and introduce other austerity measures, notwithstanding their already low levels of current income, consumption and employment. The social effects have been all the greater.
