This mission to Saudi Arabia was one of several such sales missions sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food to develop new markets for Ontario agricultural pro- ducts. Private Plots in Bulgaria In an effort to overcome shortages of food products, Bulgarian agricultural planners are granting more and more private plots to farm- ing. In 1982, private agriculture pro- vided one-third of national meat pro- duction and almost one-third of eggs. Last year, the extent of private plots reached 100,000 hectares (almost a quarter of a million acres); the number and size of private plots is not known, however. In 1980, private farmers produced 81 million litres of milk and 30,000 tons of horticultural products. The Bulgarian news agency states that private farming "is an ef- fective means of ensuring throughout the year regular supplies of agricultural products to the popula- tion."E PG. 26 THE RURAL VOICE.
