July Meat Imports
Off 44 Percent
imports of meat subject to
the Meat Import Law of 1964
were 59.4 million pounds
during July according to
figures released recently by
the U. S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA). This
was 44 percent below im
ports in July 1973 and the
lowest monthly imports sinc
e November 1969. Over 80
percent of the decline was
due to smaller imports from
Australia and New Zealand,
the two leading overseas
suppliers of meat to the
United States.
Imports of meat subject to
the Meat Import Law totaled
615.2 million pounds during
January through July, 12
percent below imports
during the same period last
year. The current level of
imports is just about on
target with the USDA’s
current estimate of total 1974
meat imports subject to the
Meat Import Law. The
estimate is 1,210 million
pounds which compares with
imports of 1,355 million
pounds in 1973. Imports
subject to the law are
primarily fresh, frozen, and
chilled beef, but also include
veal, mutton, and goat meat.
Population Growth

of the United States dropped ti
its lowest level in thirty-fivi
years. Our growth rate for tha
