The United Nation

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC; French: Conseil économique et social des Nations unies, CESNU) is one of the six principal organs of the United Nations, responsible for coordinating the economic and social fields of the organisation, specifically in regards to the 15 specialised agencies, the eight functional commissions and the five regional commissions under its jurisdiction.

The Council serves as the central forum for discussing international economic and social issues and formulating policy recommendations addressed to member states and the United Nations system. A number of non-governmental organisations have been granted consultative status to the Council to participate in the work of the United Nations.

La situation de l'alimentation des Nations et de l'agriculture en Afrique

Conference Papers & Reports
februari, 1965
Africa

Il semble, d' après des estimations préliminaires, que la production agricole du continent africain qui avait augmente d’environ 7 pour 100 en 1962/63 (mais il s’agissait en grande partie d'un redressement, car elle avait baisse l'année précédente), se soit accrue de noms de un pour 100 en 1963/64. Pour la campagne 1964/65, les chiffres sont encore très limites, mais il semble probable qu'elle aura un peu diminue dans le nord-ouest de l’Afrique.

The food and agricultural situation in Africa

Reports & Research
januari, 1965
Africa

Africa is a considerable net exporter of agricultural products and in 1963 the volume of its gross imports amounted only .to about a quarter of its gross exports. Since 1957 the continent's net exports have been subjected to a constant and fairly rapid increase. In 1963 the rise in net was smaller than in earlier years as gross exports increased only a little However, contrary to the past trend, the growth rate of net exports in 1963 was much higher than that of gross exports because of the reduction in agricultural imports.
