Farm Exports to W. Hemis.
Climb to Record High
U.S. agricultural exports to
Western Hemisphere countries
notched a new high of $1.59 billion
in 1972, up $2lO million from
1971’s $1.38 billion, according to
the U.S. Department of
Agriculture.
In its annual review of the
agricultural situation in the
Western Hemisphere, excluding
the United States and Cuba, the
Department’s Economic
Research Service said the in
crease was due to a rapid rise in
farm exports to both Canada and
Latin America. Exports to
Canada were valued at $716

from 1971. Sates to Latin America
(Mexico, the Caribbean, Central
America, and South America)
totaled $B7O million, exceeding
the 1971 record by nearly $lOO
million.
Bigger sales of cotton and
fruits and vegetables to Canada
helped account for the high 1972
figure, while in Latin America
higher income levels coupled
with a drop in per capita food
production increased demand for
wheat and other food products as
well as animal and poultry
feedstuffs.

resulting sedimentation, will be

The Lancaster County meeting
will be held Monday, May 21,

The report forecast a jump in
certain U.S. exports to Canada-in
1973,'particularly corn, fruits and
vegetables and their
preparations, meat and meat
products, potatoes, cattle hides,
and cotton. However, U.S. ex
ports of soybeans and soybean
products 'will probably decline.
The outlook for trade with
Latin America suggests a future
rise in XLS. exports this year, the
report said. 'Mexico’s wheat
imports should continue at a high
level and in Brazil, demand for
wheat should also be up sharply
due to a small crop in 1972. In
Central America and the Andean
region of South America-where
adverse weather reduced the late
1972 harvest-demand is expected
to continue strong for wheat, feed
grains, fats and oils, and other
food products.
