The apex of Bangladesh's food production .was reached in 19^9 (table l) when rice
output exceeded I8 million metric tons. This was followed by food production declines
in both 1970 and 1971, primarily because of dropoffs in rice output. The typhoon in
November 1970 cut rice output to l6.7 million metric tons for that year, and civil
unrest, resulting in the abandonment of rice paddies as farmers fled to India, cut 1971
rice output to an estimated 15.2 million metric tons. Pfer capita food production in
1971 was estimated to be I6 percent below the 196I-65 average; most of the decline can
be attributed to the shortfall in rice, since the output of numerous food crops showed
a lesser decline or in some cases actually increase. By By John B. Parker, Jr., and Reed E. Friend
