Excerpt from Agricultural Development Programs of Iran, Iraq, and Sudan: Effect on Products Competitive With U. S. Farm Exports This report on agricultural development in Iran, Iraq, and Sudan is the second in a series on the competitive aspects of large-scale agricultural development pro grams in the Middle East. The first report, Agricultural Development in Turkey, was issued in January 1958 as Foreign Agriculture Report No. 106. This second report reviews the agricultural situation and international trade of the three countries and the progress they have made in improving agricultural production. Also, it analyzes current programs with respect to the probability of their attaining projected goals and the effect such development will have on the production and trade of products competitive with United States farm exports.

As the reality of a food deficit emerged in the Middle East, rural society and the agricultural sector – once viewed as peripheral to national development – swiftly rose up the policy agendas of nearly every Middle East country. This book, first published in 1982, looks at the complex interrelationships of food production, development schemes and politics in those countries. Dr Weinbaum considers the origins, nature, scope and political dimensions of the potential food shortfall and explores how food deficits could lead to changed international relations among states in the Middle East. He specifically examines the physical and technological limitations to increased food production, then assesses the major social, economic and political hurdles in the way of agricultural development, the effects of – and pressures for – agrarian reform, the bureaucratic policymaking process, and the domestic impact of foreign assistance policies. He concludes with an examination of the linkage between food supply availability and political stability.
