Extract: For all Southeast Asian countries, economic growth was lower during 1982 than during 1981. For most countries, the trade deficit was higher, foreign exchange holdings lower, and commodity prices weaker. Agricultural output was up slightly during the year. U.S. farm exports to the region reached $1.2 billion in 1982 and should be somewhat higher in 1983 as larger volumes again offset declining commodity prices. Agricultural production in Southeast Asia should increase 2 to 4 percent during 1983, with gains expected in the region's output of rice, coarse grains, and vegetable oil.
