Resumen
Descripción
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.
