520			_aAgricultural production: In spite of considerable losses in output of tobacco, dates, olives and sugar beets in 1965, West Asia's total farm production exceeded the high level reached in the preceding season by a little more than 2 percent. This represented increases of close to 11 percent from the 1961-63 average and 25 percent from the average for 1957-59- But regional per capita farm output was only 1 percent above that recorded for 1964 and was just 4 percent higher than in the 1957-59 period. Production of all grains in 1965 was 6 percent greater than the year before. Although lowered yields in Turkey reduced the West Asian corn crop last year to about 98 percent of the 1964 total, barley rose by nearly 16 percent and wheat rose by close to a million tons --a 7 percent increase over 1964. The rye crop was more than 3 percent larger, sorghum and mixed grains registered gains of about 6 percent each, and rice increased by nearly 6 percent. With larger areas planted, pulse production rose slightly in 1965.
