Examen de la situation de l'alimentation et de l'agriculture en Afrique
La production alimentaire par habitant semble, depuis trois ans,
étre tombée au-dessous du niveau d'avant-guerre.

Review of the food and agricultural situation in Africa
The rate of increase of agricultural production, and especially food production, in Africa appears to have slowed down in the last few years. For 1959/60, the latest season for which data are available, provisional estimates indicate that there was a slight fall in production from the level of the previous year. On a per caput basis, food production appears to have fallen below the prewar level for the last three years.
