Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes on the Agricultural Economies of Dependent Territories in the Western Hemisphere and Puerto Rico The economies of the Caribbean territories were generally progressing in the late 1950's aided by confidence generated for much of the area by formation of The West Indies federation and the provision of considerable external assistance. A downturn occurred in the early 1960's with the dissolution of the federation and reduced external assistance. Starting in 1963, an upsurge developed through a combination of factors. These included extensive development planning, in creased sugar markets and prices stemming from the decline in Cuban output and receipt by most territories of a u.s. Sugar quota, and increased development of tourism and related industries. Development plans for nearly all of the territories emphasize increased food and livestock pro duction and provide for protective tariffs. Technical assistance to the territories has been given by the Food and Agriculture Organiza tion of the United Nations (fao), the now defunct Caribbean Commission, and the Agency for Inter national Development (aid)-formerly International Cooperation Administration (ica). Projects included technical assistance and advice in such fields as home economics, soils, irrigation, marketing, housing, health, and roads.
