摘要:Farm income from major crop
increased by 20.2 per cent, accelerating from
17.0 per cent in the previous year. The major
crop price index increased by 24.1 per cent,
accelerating significantly from the previous
year. Favorable price increases were observed
in rubber, cassava, paddy, and sugar cane in
response to high domestic and world demand
as well as decreased supply of major crop.
The major crop production index declined
by 3.1 per cent due to prolonged drought in
2004 and flood in late 2005, which adversely
affected the production of sugar cane, cassava,
maize and rubber.
