WAR AFFECTS
GREEK AGRICULTURE
The war and enemy occupa­
tion have caused a complete
dislocation of Greek agriculture,
compared with the 1935-37 lev­
el, the estimated reduction of
production for 1943 is: wheat,
46 per cent; other cereals, 55
per cent; potatoes, 70 per cent;
milk, 90 per cent; cheese, 90
per cent; eggs, 90 per cent;
meat, 90 per cent; currants,
75 per cent. It is estimated
that half of the population of
all urban and industrial areas
had only 250 calories a day last
winter. The International Red
Cross says that the average
man should have 2400 calories
a day.
