ABSTRACT
The realisation of the First Five Year Plan, 1969-1974, was a mixed performance. Although the industrial items have not indicated success in this sector there has been development in many other industries not specified in the Plan outline. The food staple sector characterises Java's agriculture, and both because it concerns the worst areas of poverty and because it has been profoundly affected by active government policies it is assessed separately. The overall sectoral targets are intended to increase the share of gross domestic product going to industry, transport and communications, and cause a decline in agriculture's share from 40 2 per cent to 35 6 per cent. It is intended to influence employment by monetary policy and interest rates. Measures to encourage 'appropriate technology' are to be used as well but unofficial comments in the press reveal that the government is aware that this is really not possible where foreign investment is concerned.
