| Popis: | This report presents the principal commodity supply and demand projections for Hong Kong and the implications for its foreign trade, particularly with the United States. Of major importance are Hong Kong's expanding population, rising per capita income, limited farmland, and consequent declining self-sufficiency in agricultural production. Projections for 1980 made by the Economic Research Center of the Chinese University of Hong Kong indicate that net food import requirements will increase by 115 percent over the 1964 level. This report summarizes the major findings of a comprehensive study, Long-Term Economic and Commodities Projections for Hong Kong 1970-1980, conducted under contract for the U.S. Department of Agriculture by a team of economists at the Economic Research Center of the Chinese University of Hong Kong under the leadership of Anthony M. Tang, director of the Center. The primary purpose of the study was to determine production, consumption, and import trends of agricultural products in Hong Kong, and to project import demand for 1970, 1975, and 1980. Findings in this study are those of the contractor and do not necessarily coincide with views of the Department. Some of the trends and analyses presented here are based on information from additional sources. |
