Grange Testifies
On Unfair Trade
HARRISBURG (Dauphin Co.)
Large projection numbers for
population growth in foreign coun
tries in the next century offer a
good opportunity for increasing
agricultural exports and opening
access to these markets, according
to the Pennsylvania State Grange
legislative director.
Brenda Shambaugh testified
before Sen. Aden Specter at a
hearing recently about the impor
tance of bringing the Uruguay
Round of the General Agreement
of Tariffs and Trade (GATT)
negotiations to a successful
conclusion.
"There must be substantial
improvements in the international
trading rules pertaining to agricul
tural commodities or the entire
multilateral trade negotiations will
fail," Shambaugh said. "We cannot
allow this to happen because of the
negative impact it would have on
all world trade, especially in the
finance sectors."
In lieu of a totally open market,
the Grange offered suggestions on
how to overcome export/import
problems:
• Because subsidies are paid in
many foreign countries on agricul
tural products, imported products
can be less expensive than their
domestic counterparts. In these
cases, domestic producers need to
be protected with countervailing
tax, or import quotas and/or fees.
• The Grange does not approve
of inspection procedures or stan

dards that limit agricultural
imports, according to Shambaugh.
However, imported products
should meet the same standards
applied to domestic goods. Also.
since some chemicals which are
banned in this country arc used in
• other countries, imports should not
contain residues of those chemical
products
• Foreign companies are buying
U.S. enterprises at an alarming
pace. "We must be ready to limit
the percentage of foreign owner
ship in any one U.S, enterprise if
the financial control of that section
of our economy is threatened by
foreign entities," Shambaugh said.
• The Grange recommends that
dairy product imports not be
increased until the GATT negotia
tions are successfully completed to
ban export subsidies on dairy pro
ducts that are imported into the
United States and barriers to the
United State’s exports of dairy
products into foreign markets are
removed.
• The United States should con
sider negotiating long-term trade
agreements with ow foreign cus
tomers to increase our export sales.
• USDA should participate
more in administration and distri
bution of the United State’s share
of the world’s food programs.
• Export credits should con
tinue, including C.C.C.’s blended
credit program to aid in moving
farm products into protected
markets.
