'In 1941 Japan invaded Southeast Asia and seized the three major rice exporting countries of the world: Burma, Thailand, and Vietnam. Nevertheless territories in the region experienced severe food shortages under Japanese control mainly because of Japan's inability to transport food to areas where it was needed. This failure to provide adequate supplies of food delivered a heavy blow to Japan's "Greater East Asian Co-prosperity Sphere".' (publishers summary). Chapter 6 deals with agriculture and food supplies in Sarawak under the Japanese.
