text: developing gas plpel lnes with an operating pressure of 100 atm. and more on the basis of uti I lzlng very strong pipes. Reel lzatlon of this program. which· envisages also the elaboration of gas pumping end other equipment, will raise the pipeline throughout up to 50 oil I ton m3 of gas, which Is 2-fold that of the capacity of gas pipet lnes being constructed today. In accordance with a special program equipment Is being elaborated for the recovery of oil and gas from the sea shelf from a depth down to 300 metres. The Food program of the USSR has been adopted In May 1982 for the per lod up to 1990·. Abo-ut 40 S and T programs have been elaborated and are being realized to support the fulfillment of targets and measures specified In this program for Increasing the production of the main types of foods and developing the material-technical base of the agrarian-Industrial complex. A series of these programs Is aimed at producing new hlgh-yfeld varieties of agricultural crops and animal breeds of high productivity. An Important role wll I beglong to blotechnolgolcal methods, genic engineering In the solution of these tests. Industrial technologies of agricultural production, based on the utilization of high-efficient machinery. efficient fertilizers. means for the protection of crops and animals against diseases and pests are developed In conformity with the climatic zones of the country. Alongside chemical and microbiological means of crops protection It Is envisaged to utilize new ohyslcal methods and, In particular. grain treatment by means of electron accelerators. Vast attention Is given In the pr?grams to the elaboration of efficient means tor storing agricultural products so as to reduce the losses of worsening of the quality to the minimum. In particular, It Is envisaged to employ gas-control led storage,·as well as refrigeration, elect>onlc-ion and other technologies. 
analysis: The text appears to focus on the development of infrastructure and technologies in the agricultural and energy sectors, with a mention of scientific methods and technologies used in these fields. It does not seem to be related to international trade, humanitarian aid, or culture.
