U.S. farm products. “While Brazil is a major competitor of U.S. agriculture in world trade of some products, I see many opportunities for cooperation - in building markets, in trade liberalization, and in improving agricultural technology,” Secretary Butz said. He added the following points: 1- We will explore with American producer and trade groups opportunities to work with Brazil in ex panding the world market for soybeans and soybean products. There is an enormous opportunity to increase the use of soybean meal in livestock and poultry feeding around the world, as well as within Brazil. There is potential for enlarging the world market for soybean oil, particularly through the retail merchandising of “identified” soybean .oil - that is, oil labeled as a soybean product, not simply as vegetable oil. There is also an opportunity to in crease the use of soybean proteins directly as human food-in the traditional forms developed in Asia and in the products of modern protein technology. The United States and Brazil, as the world’s dominant soybean exporters, would both benefit from an overall expansion in worldwide use of soybeans. 2. Brazil and the United States, as major exporters of agricultural products, have a common interest in liberalized trade. I discussed with Minister of Agriculture Alysson Paulinelli of Brazil the need for joint con sultations as we move for ward in the Multilateral Trade Negotiations in Geneva. The Minister and other Brazilian officials recognize that our two nations have a similar in terest in lowering barriers to trade in agricultural GuMFIEIE FARM PAam WE USE BRUHING QUALITY PAINT AND IT DOES STAY ON!!?

Venezuela is a deficit food producer, and has used its rising petroleum revenues to sharply increase its imports of farm products. In 1974, the United States exported $323 million worth of farm products to Venezuela. “In both Venezuela and Brazil, we discussed the need for efficient production, with trade based on com parative advantage.
