Excerpt from Development and Spread of High-Yielding Varieties of Wheat and Rice in the Less Developed Nations While I would like to think that the overall report continues to be improved with each edition, this is not altogether the case for the statistical reporting in several regions. In the Near East, it has been possible to obtain estimates for two countries for which recent data were not previously available (lebanon, Turkey), but recent estimates do not seem to be available for several other countries which were covered in earlier editions (algeria, Iraq, Morocco). Some previously reported data are now considered inadequate and have been dropped (iran, Morocco). In the Asia region, annual rice estimates are no longer available, at least to me, for two countries where there has been a change in government (laos, South Vietnam). On the other hand, there have been some additions in coverage elsewhere. Still, the gains may not outweigh the losses.
