MnLiAG ft! BY B. C. MAN6UM Tobacco Exports Tobacco has always been a stabilizing influence in our export market. Last year, for example, 55 percent of the crop was soid abroad, netting a favorable trade ba lance of almost $700 million. The important thing to re member about these sales is that a large percent are com mercial sales for dollars. This b especially Important at a time when we talk about our "balance of payments" that b, trying to even up the dollars we spend for Imports with the dollars we take in for exports. U. S. exports of unmanu factured tobacco bulged to near record levels in cal endar 1972. Exports of tab acco, Including bolk smo kiqg tobacco, totaled 635 million pounds in 1973, up substant 1 ally from 604 mil* lion in 1971. Value totaled 9673 million - up one-third. The value of both unmanu factured tohacco exports and tobacco products reached temporary record highs; |63o million for tobacco and 4E240 million for products. Cigarette exports reached a total of 34.6 billion pieces for a value of almost 1303 million - an increase of 10 percent in value compared to the previous year. Among all the states, Nonh Carolina ranks fifth in farm exports; and the biggest part of those export revenues come from tobacco alone. It is more Important than ever that we continue to ex pand our export sales ef forts throughout the world if we hope to maintain the cur rent export level. It will not only be to the benefit of to bacco growers, but to the ec onomy of our state and nation. ?? - ? v STATE 4-H ELECTRIC CONGRESS-Duplin County 4-H mem bers, left to right. Lynn HAH.
