Pou The trade imbalance between the United States and Japan would be much worse except for the very large quantities of U.S. farm products purchased by the Japanese each year. Over the past decade, Japan consistently has been the largest foreign customer of American farmers. Japanese purchases of U.S. - grown agricultural goods currently exceed $6 billion a year. In fact, a significant turning point has been reached in the history of U.S. farm exports. For the first time, the farmers of this country are shipping more of their products to Asia than to western Europe. U.S. ties to western Europe - cultural, political, economic and even military - are strong. But Asia has the largest population of any continent. The People’s Republic of China (PRC) along has more than 1 billion people - about a fourth of the entire world population. The population growth rate in Asia exceeds that in many regions of the world. Economic development is occurring in nearly every country in Asia. With rising incomes, people are more interested in upgrading their diets. For many, this means increased con sumption of livestock products - meat, poultry, milk and eggs. Asian purchases of U.S. wheat and feed grains, along with soybeans, have grown the most rapidly. Purchases of raw cotton also have increased significantly. In the current fiscal year, it is projected that Asia will remain the largest U.S. customer for wheat and products, feed grains, and raw cotton. « SALE P(J Q u \\ REVERSIBLE HANDBAGS or LOAFER rag. 9.95 and 16.95 Ladias 5-10, Win*.

In addition, this year Asia will take 30 per cent of U.S. soybean exports, 30 per cent of U.S. vegetable oil ship ments, and 32 per cent of U.S. tobacco exports. The Asian market for U.S. agricultural goods more than doubled in four years, rising from $6.9 billion in fiscal 1977 to $14.2 billion in fiscal 1981. The value projected for 1982 is $13.6 billion, or nearly a third of U.S. shipments to all countries. American agricultural exports to Asia are largely commercial. Shipments under public law 480 foodaid programs declined from 10 per cent of total value in fiscal 1977 to only 3 per cent last year. Western Europe . pur chased 36.5 per cent of the total value of U.S. farm exports five years ago, and Asia took 28.9 per cent. This year, western Europe’s share will drop to 28.7 per. cent and Asia’s will rise to 31 per cent. Livestock development in Asian countries propelled U.S. feed grain exports from 13 million tons in 1977 to more than 21 million last year -a level they should maintain through 1982. Indications are, however, that this country’s feed grain producers will face increased competition in Asian markets. For example, South Africa is now shipping millions of dollars worth of corn to South Korea each year For the past four years, the United States had held virtually 100 per cent of the Korean market. Taiwan plans to diversify its sources of corn imports, so U.S. sales to Taiwan in 1982 will at best match last year’s level or may even decline. Japan, which takes 70 per cent of U.S. feed grain shipments to Asia, has a surplus of rice and is en couraging the mixing of rice with corn for feed. Also, there has been a slowdown in Japanese livestock ex pansion. Asian purchases of U.S. cotton in 1982 art estimated at nearly $2 billion. Leading buyers include South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Sales increases to these markets parallel the growth of their domestic textile industries. “Given the relatively low capital costs of textile mills, abundant and cheap labor, and the desire to in dustrialize, Asian govern ments view textiles as an industry in which they can compete effectively,” says USDA. Japan is the largest foreign buyer of the flue - cured tobacco grown in North Carolina and four other states. Its flue - cured purchases in the United States in 1981 amounted to 105 million pounds and were valued at $193 million. VOTE. ITMIGHT BE WORTH THE BOTHER.
