Sandy Sueck News Reporter TRY A CLASSIFIED Farm Exports Seen Food For Industry U.B. (arm exports con tribute significantly to the national economy. For example, every $1 that is returned to the farm sector from exports creates an additional $1.33 of output in the rest of the economy - such as in transportation, financing and warehousing, or in supplying farmers with fertilizer, machinery, and other goods. Thus, the $4.3 billion increase in U.S. agricultural exports in 1974 added another $5.7 billion of income to the rest of the economy. Economists call this the “multiplier effect.” It’s like dropping a pebble in a pool. Increased output in one part of the economy sends a series of widening ripples throughout the rest of the economy, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. When you add it all up, farm exports generated about $47 billion worth of income in 1974. Of this about $2O billion came from the farming sector; the remaining $27 billion came from nonagricultural in dustries. Food processing alone received nearly $8 billion of income from agricultural exports. Income generated in transportation and warehousing amounted to $2.7 billion; in wholesaling and retailing it amounted to about $2.9 billion. In 1974 more than 450,000 people had jobs assembling, processing, and distributing agricultural exports.

As another example: about 2,000 people in the agricultural chemical in dustry have Jobs supplying farmers with the chemicals to raise farm products for export. Farmers are buying more products from industry as a result of increased agricultural exports. Far mers are buying more household appliances, farm equipment, building sup plies, and other capital goods and consumer items. This increased buying by farmers as a result of farm exports spreads more purchasing power throughout the entire economy.
