U.S.-Soviet grain talks
NZPA-Reuter Washington The United States and the Soviet Union will hold grain talks on January 24 and 25 in Britain, according to a United States Agriculture Department official. A location for the talks, the first under the bilateral five-year grain deal signed last August, has not yet been set. The Under-Secretary of Agriculture, Mr Daniel Amstutz, announced the meeting after Moscow had made a big purchase of American grain, taking 300,000 tonnes of corn. Mr Amstutz, the agency’s top grain trade negotiator
with the Soviet Union, said that the administration had yet to decide whether to offer more grain beyond the levels set in the agreement. Grain trade sources have expressed doubt that Washington will offer more in view of severe drought damage to American crops this summer and escalating tensions between the two
countries. The grain consultations, held at least twice a year, review supply and demand conditions in both nations as well as Moscow’s shipping schedules for American grain.
