Tibetan economy is developing in recent years, with GDP 7698 million Yuan, the gross output value of agriculture and industry 5321 million Yuan, and the per capita GDP 3194 Yuan in 1997. The total value of imports and exports in Tibet in 1997 reached up to 118.33 million US dollars. The government revenue was more than 3693 million Yuan, and the output of grain was about 0.7919 million tons. At present, the farming and animal husbandry are the major industries in Tibet. The gross output of agriculture accounted for 77.9 percent of the gross output value of agriculture and industry in 1997. But the productivity is very low, and the handwork in farming and animal husbandry are still some of primary pattern. Although in some areas near cities few of machines used in agricultural, the manpower and animal power are still applied in plowing land. So the output of agricultural production is neither high nor stable. In Tibet the industry sectors are quite small in size and few in kinds, with extensive management at low efficiency. |
