JAPAN BECOMES FIRST BILUON-DOLLAR CUSTOMER OF UNITED STATES AGRICULTURE “North Carolina residents are well aware that U. S.-Japanese trade is extensive,” H. O. Carter, State Executive Director for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, comment ed recently. . “Almost everyone recognizes that Americans are important customers for Japanese goods. 1 wonder how many of us realize that the Japanese are major cus tomers for American goOds, es pecially for American' farm com “In fact, Japan imports more U. S. agricultural products than any other country in the world — a record $1.1 billion worth during th<y!970 fiscal year,” Carter said!®" He point® out that feed one-third of U. S. feed, grain exports. Soybean exports to Ja pan had a 251 million dollar val ue, and wheat exports $136 mil lion. Japan is our best cotton cus tomer, taking one-fourth of its cotton from the U, S., and Jap an bought $50 million worth of tobacco from the U. S. during the last fiscal year. The ASC Committee Chairman reported that Secretary of Ag riculture Clifford M. Hardin re cently at a luncheon sponored by the National Grain and Bleed As sociation, Washington* D. C„ Sep tember 15, 1970, took note of the, AmerioanJapanese trade story, calling it unprecedented. Secretary Hardin also said: “The Japanese economy has paralleled that Nation’s growth in trade. In the years between I960 and 1965^ Japanese ship ments in world trade more than doubled. By 1969, they, .had ■■■*" again, reach Shipmemts *o nited States increased In more than four times — $4.9 billion. “The Japanese householder’s disposable income has more than tripled since 1960. His demand for meat, milk, and eggs — a good ‘horseback’ measure of con creased by more than four times in 15 years. “He is diversifying his eating habits as his income goes up. For example, per person consump ton of wheat flour in this tradi tionally rice-eating society has increased by 30 per cent in a decade and a half. “Ten years ago, Japan’s agri cultural imports from the U. S. were $440 million. In the fiscal year just past, they were more than twice as great — nearly $1.1 billion. “But the agricultural exports are only one aspect of a benefic ial trading relationship that can be' summarized very simply: in terms of total exports, the Unit ed States is Japan’s best custom er, and Japan1 is the United' Stat es’ best off-shore customer. “As you might expect, two thirds of U. S. shipments to Ja pan last year were raw materi als, mineral fuels, and foodstuffs, while 90 per cent of Japan’s ship ments to the U. S. were manu factured goods. “This is the basis of beneficial world trade — an exchange of goods based primarily on produc tion efficiency. “It is this principle that led Japan to look to efficient pro ducers on the broad farmlands for the feed grains needed to sat isfy its people’s rising demand for livestock products. “As a result, imported feed grains have triggered a rapid expansion of Japanese livestock production. This has brought Japanese consumers more meat and poultry at better prices; it has open&d opportunities for Japanese fanners for new and profitable livestock enterprises; it has meant am important and expanding feed grain market for world agriculture. . . . “Almost the whole range of U. S. farm commodities finds Ja pan a leading customer. “Japan wants, heeds, and can afford these products, and the U. S. can supply them in any system of international trade in which price, quality, and avail ability are the primary factors. “In a world of competition, ex port expansion means salesman ship and service as well as price, quality, and availability. The producers and marketers of the major U. S. agricultural products have understood! this, and they support some 68 private trade organizations formed to develop markets overseas in cooperation with the Department of Agricul ture. This is, of course, a mu tual effort — with many strong Japanese organizations bringing to it their special knowledge, their specal abilities.” In closing, Agriculture Secre tary Hardin gave special recog nition to the trade organizations for the three commodities which ast year accounted for two-thirds of total U. S. agricultural ex ports to Japan — feed grains, - soybeans, and wheat.
