520 _aFor the third consecutive year the world food and agricultural situation must be viewed with grave concern. During 122uch of 1974 there were high hopes that this year would bring the bountiful harvests so badly needed for the world to begin to emerge from the food crisis that started with the widespread bad weather and poor crops of 1972. Although there was a substantial recovery in production in 1973, very large harvests were needed in 1974 if a beginning was to be made in returning to any reasonable degree of security in world food supplies. It is now clear that these hopes were not realized in 1974. In many countries the expansion ill acreage and other special efforts made to increase production were defeated by the weather. Any easing of the world food situation has thus been put off for at least another year. Although bad weather was much less widespread in 1974 than in 1972, it affected production with particular severity in two vitally important regions of the world: North America, the largest food exporter, and the Far East, where the majority of the world's malnourished people are to be found. The final outcome of the cereal crops in son2e parts of the Far East is still unknown, but it is already certain that in both of these regions there has been a drop in cereal production and in total food and agricultural production.
