Synopsis (short abstract) Over the last ten years, the agricultural population of developing Asia-Pacific nations declined from 62.5 to 56.9 percent of the total population. This document is a comprehensive and detailed compilation of statistics on farming, livestock, fishery, forestry and nutrition in Asia-Pacific countries for the above period. The statistics are listed separately for the developing and developed countries in the region. The annual report for the first time uses coloured charts and graphics and provide s a handy comparison of changes over the past decade in the use of agricultural land and farm inputs, production of farm and horticulture crops, livestock, fisheries, forestry and agricultural trade. Changes in the daily per capita dietary energy supply in these countries over the past decade are shown for the first time for Fiji, Maldives, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu.

    This is the twentieth issue of the above publication, a comprehensive and detailed compilation of statistics on farming, livestock, fishery, forestry and nutrition in Asia-Pacific countries for the above period. Statistics are listed separately for the developing and developed countries in the region. The publication uses mostly FAO statistics which are based on information provided by member countries. A table reporting on the status of organic farming in the region has been included for the fi rst time. The publication provides a handy comparison of changes over the past decade in the use of agricultural land and farm inputs, production of farm and horticulture crops, livestock, fisheries, forestry and agricultural trade in countries of the Asia-Pacific region, where nearly 56 percent of the total population of about 3.4 billion were engaged in farming and related activities in 2001.

    A comprehensive and detailed compilation of statistics on farming, livestock, fishery, forestry and nutrition in Asia-Pacific countries for the above period. A handy comparison of changes over the past decade in the use of agricultural land and farm inputs and production of crops, livestock, fisheries and forestry in Asia-Pacific where nearly 60 percent of the about 3.2 billion people in 1999 were engaged in farming and related activities. The last decade of the twentieth century saw the agricul tural population of developing Asia-Pacific nations decline from 63.7 to 58.3 percent of the total population. The document also maps the changes in the daily diet availability in these countries, showing that this falls short of the basic food energy requirements in Cambodia, DPR Korea and Mongolia.
