Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Policies in the Far East and Oceania, 1967: Foreign Agricultural Economic Report No. 37 A major economic policy objective of almost every country in the Far East and Oceania region is to increase its agricultural output. Food products are receiving higher priority than nonfood items, due to the widening gap between food consumption and food production. The Far East and Oceania region, stretching from Afghanistan to Japan to New Zealand, contains half of the world's population. This is a region of many diversities, but agriculture dominates the economies of most countries. In general, the countries of Asia are underdeveloped and have low standards of living. The outstanding exception is Japan, where industry predominates and relatively high levels of living have been achieved. Most of the Asian coun tries do not produce enough food for their needs, but again there are exceptions. Thailand leads, and Burma ranks third, among rice-exporting countries of the world. The two major countries of oceania-australia and New Zealand-are important exporters of food and other agricultural products. In both countries.
