抄録

Population of the world is growing rapidly, and the U. N. estimates the number of the world population will become more than ten billion in 2050. Especially, it will increase remarkably in developing countries. This study estimates population and food production at the developing countries in Asia until 2010 using the multiple regression analysis on statistical national data such as GDP, food consumption, agricultural production and agricultural investment. The results show that the crop yield will be consumed as food less than the other use for the wealth of life in developed countries. While, food demand in developing countries will become higher than its supply. In Asia, especially, the food demand will be growing more than its supply next two decades. The agricultural investment such as fertilizer, tractor and irrigation area, are estimated the effectiveness of food supplying and its cost impact to economic in developing countries. For the preservation of the environment and increase of the food productions, irrigation land must be constructed and tidied up. Developed countries should help the monetary fund and the technology transfer into agricultural development in developing countries.
