Abstract
“THE WORLD AGRICULTURAL SITUATION IN 1933–4”, published by the International Institute of Agriculture, Rome (25 liras), forms the fifth of the series of “Economic Commentaries” on the “International Yearbook of Agricultural Statistics”. The information is presented in a slightly different form from that in preceding volumes. The first part deals with world agriculture, its conditions and trends, and describes the market conditions of the chief agricultural products such as cereals, sugar, tea, coffee, wine, tobacco, textile materials and live-stock, while the second part is concerned with the agricultural policy and conditions in each of thirty different countries. A modification of the arrangement in the previous issues has been made and now information of every kind concerning each country has been grouped together in a single article. The development in Government intervention on behalf of agriculture has necessitated considerable extension of this part of the publication and has also led to the omission of the section devoted to the action taken by voluntary organisations, since this has inevitably become of increasingly smaller importance.
