Drop In U.S. Grain Exports Likely
ißcc. 10.30 a.m.) GENEVA. August 28. The United Slates Under-Sccretary of Agriculture (Mr N. E. Dodds) is sued a forceful warning at the food commission of the FAC that United States grain exports to Europe and Asia would soon be heavily reduced.
The world’s total export supply was 29,000,000 tons, while world requirements were 50,030,000 tons, he said. The United States would need to export between 18.000.000 to 20,000,000 tons of grain if the world was to be fed even as well as last year. However, the United States would be fortunate if it could export last year’s record of 14,500,020 tens.
