Price Hikes Mixed for U.S. Farm Exports
Last year, U.S. farm goods on the
world market cost about 68 percent

vaulted 631 percent.
Calculations are based on a mar

ported from the U.S. in 1973. In
Japan—our biggest market—prices
rose 52 percent. The average in

increases in wages. In real terms
(the nominal increase adjusted for
the effects of currency realignments
and rising wages) prices of U.S.
farm exports increased the least in
France. But in nominal terms, Can
ada had the smallest gain. The big
gest price hike in real terms was for
Germany, and in nominal terms,
Spain. Nominal' price changes are
obviously not very indicative of
changes in foreign demand.
