The reconstruction of the agricultural production intensified. The cerealícola production continuously registered good harvests in the first four years of IX the Quinquennial Plan, the supply and the demand as far as the total volume stayed basically in balance, and in the years of good harvest cereals exceeded. Under these circumstances, the diverse localities to a great extent readjusted the structure of the agricultural cultures in agreement with the needs of the market. The surface of the industrial cultures was increased, ascending for the first time to a 30% of the total surface of the agricultural cultures. The cerealícola production registered a reduction to a great extent, and the composition of the cultures was optimized still more. Due to the serious drought and the reduction of the surface of the culture by the structural readjustment, the annual cerealícola yield was of 462,51 million tons, with a diminution of 9% in comparison with the previous year. Of that total, the harvest of cultures of summer maturation was of 107,5 million tons, 9,3% less than the previous year; the yield of early rice, 37,47 million tons, 8,5% less; and the one of the cultures of autumnal maturation, 317,54 million tons, with a reduction of 9%. Between the main industrial cultures, the cotton and the oily ones registered an increase, whereas the sugar bowls fell. Because the production of the textile sector improved remarkably, increased the demand of the cotton and raised its price of market. The farmers planted more cotton, and the surface of this culture increased in 300,000 hectares, that is to say an increase of the 8,1%. The annual production was of 4,35 million tons, 13,6% more than the previous year. The production of the oily ones was of 29,5 million tons, for an increase of the 13,4%. The surface of the sugar cultures was reduced, registering a production of 74,5 million tons, with a diminution of the 10,6%. The vegetable production grew fast in the reconstruction. The surface of culture of vegetables and vegetables in all the year reached the 14,7 million hectares, for an increase of the 10,1% on the previous year. The structure of products was optimized, with the increase of the variety of the famous, new, special and fine cultures. The cattle ranch was developed to safe steps. With the great slope of the price of fodder, the price of the alive pig stayed stable and with small fluctuations after the ascent happened in the second semester of the 1999. The farmers obtained more gains to raise pigs and the production of alive pig was developed constantly. The productions bovine, ovejuna and bird-raising continued maintaining the fast development. The total volume of the production of meats of the year reached the 62,7 million tons, with an increase of 5,4% with respect to the previous year. The fishing was developed without bumps, with an annual production of fishery species of 42,9 million tons, 4,1% more than in the preceding year. Forestry in center showed to a tendency of relatively fast development after the takeoff of the state project of protection of the resources of natural forests and the fortification of the return of the cultivable fields to the reforestation (pastures) and the west of the country. In 2000 the reforestal surface totalized 5,16 million hectares, of them, 710.000 hectares corresponded to the return of cultivable fields to the reforestation, for an increase of 5,3% and 9,2%, respectively. The construction of hydraulic works intensified still more, with an increase of the surface of effective irrigated land of more than 800 thousand hectares in all the year.
