The Agricultural Sector Agriculture in the Economqy 1.01 Over the last five years (1972-77), the total GDP increased at an average annual rate of 4.1% (1960 prices) whereas the agricultural sector increased at an annual rate of only 2.1%. Agriculture's share of the GDP was 16%, including 13% from the crop subsector, 2 to 3% from the livestock, and the balance, less than 1%, from forestry and fisheries. Fifty percent of the Panamanian population lives in rural areas and 30% of the national labor force is employed in the agricultural sector. 1.02 During the three-year period 1975-77, 53% of all exports of goods (US$238 million per annum) and over 85% of non-petroleum merchandise exports (US$147 million) were of agricultural or marine origin for a total of about US$127 million. Bananas and sugar alone accounted for, respectively, 34% and 18% of non-petroleum exports, shrimps for 15%, and coffee and beef for about 2% each. In spite of the low overall rate of growth, the agricultural sector has been able to supply most of the food products required by the domestic market. Total imports of agricultural products during the 1975-77 period averaged about US$53 million, equivalent to 8% to 10% of total imports. Apart from wheat and wheat products, temperate fruits and vegetables, the main imports, which could be replaced by domestic production, are meat, dairy products, vegetable fats and oils, feed grains and concentrates, and wood products. Performance 1.03 During the 1960s, agricultural GDP increased at an average rate of 5% per annum. Since 1970, however, overall performance has been more modest and erratic, with an average annual growth rate of 3.1% between 1970 and 1972; -1.5% in 1974, 4.8% in 1975 0% in 1976 and an estimated 1.1% in 1977. The overall performance of the sector is quite sensitive to fluctua- tions in banana production, which accounted for 35% of GDP of the crop subsector in 1972 and 27% in 1976. 1.04 Although the production of rice and sugarcane has been increasing rapidly, performance of the sector was adversely affected in 1974-76 by a substantial fall in banana production and exports, which resulted from dis- agreements between the Government of Panama (GOP) and United Brands Corpora- tion (UB) 1/ over land tenure and the Level of export taxes on bananas (both resolved in January 1976 para 2.02). Although banana production subsequently increased it still has not regained its 1970-72

  • Notes on Amphibians and Reptiles from Western Panama
    Herpetology Notes, volume 13: 219-229 (2020) (published online on 09 March 2020) Notes on amphibians and reptiles from western Panama Abel Batista1,5,*, Andreas Hertz4, Marcos Ponce2, and Sebastian Lotzkat3 Abstract. Panama is a hotspot of amphibian and reptile diversity and many areas of the country still remain underexplored. Here we present results of our field work carried out through several years in western Panama, further increasing the numbers of amphibian and reptile species known from the country. We provide the first country records for Smilisca manisorum and Lepidophyma reticulatum. Additionally, we extend the known distributional ranges of Pristimantis taeniatus, Pleurodema brachyops, Leptodactylus fuscus, Bachia blairi, Basiliscus plumifrons, Anolis auratus, A. capito, A. cryptolimifrons, A. humilis, A. kemptoni, A. pseudopachypus, Geophis godmani, Mastigodryas pleei, and Bothriechis supraciliaris. Keywords. Amphibia, distribution, new record, herpetofauna, Panama, Reptilia Introduction van den Burg, 2012). Despite these manifold novelties, the amount of herpetological exploration in western The herpetofauna of Panama has been studied in Panama is still unsatisfactory (Köhler et al., 2008; various areas, with most work concentrated in central Lotzkat, 2014; Hertz, 2015). Panama (Ibáñez et al., 2001; Crawford et al. 2010; The aim of this paper is to provide new records of Voyles et al., 2018). However, there are notable surveys amphibians and reptiles from western Panama, as a since the mid-nineteenth century that were carried out in result of our surveys in the region from 2004 to 2012. western Panama (e.g., Dunn, 1924, 1940, 1947; Slevin, We include two new country records for Panama, and 1942; Myers and Duellman, 1982; see summaries in 14 distribution extensions.
