Maintenance of Soviet Forces in South Caucasia Report by J.I.C.

A N N E X FOOD SUPPLIES IN SOUTH CAUCASIA 1. South Caucasia produces about a million tons of bread grains a year (exclusive of seed and fodder requirements). A further half-million tons were normally imported but we do not know how much (if any) has been imported since the an harvest nor what stocks were carried over. 2. South Caucasia produces considerable quantities of meat part of which were normally exported, but could be consumed locally to make good the deficiency of grain. To cover a difficult period, meat supplies could be increased by heavier slaughterings.
