    This is the third edition of the “Summary of the World Food and Agricultural Statistics”, a publication which arose following a request of the FAO Director-General to compile a broad range of statistics pertaining to world food and agriculture. These statistics show, wherever appropriate, the differences between the developed and developing countries, the continents and the regions. Initially the related tables were compiled and regularly updated for the personal use of the Director-Gene ral. However, as the information presented has become of more general interest, it has been decided to publish the tables in the form of a document. It is hoped that managers and policy makers dealing in international issues relating to food and agriculture will find the document useful. The tables are organized in sets corresponding to 10 sections entitled as follows: 1) Agriculture Macro-Economic Indicators 2) Population and Labour Force 3) Land Use and Agricultural Inputs 4) W ater Resources and Irrigation 5) Agricultural Production and Trade 6) Forestry Production and Trade 7) Fishery Production and Trade 8) Food Nutrition and Food Security 9) Projections 10) Selected Food and Agricultural Indicators by Country
