Book Description
Excerpt from Competition in the Japanese Market for Agricultural Products Prospects for United States rice in the Japanese market are not too bright. Japan expects to continue its own large production and hold imports well below the high levels of 1954 and 1955. It will import long-grain rice from Burma and Thailand to support its export sales. But it will import less of the short-grain rice its consumers prefer, and for these supplies it will turn to nondollar sources to save dollars and to boost exports. Use of barley for human consumption will probably decline. Imports will fall off and more of tne imported supply will be used as feed for the increasing livestock population. There fore, importers will have less objection to blue kernels and steely kernels. Canada and Australia, with increased produc tion of barley, will continue to compete in the Japanese mar ket, but the United States should hold its present share. Imports of corn will increase somewhat and the United States will continue to be the dominant supplier. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
