Graham said he found that the State's tobacco markstslnthefar eastern countries are m excellent shape, and strongly commended the agencies whose work have ef fected this. "However," be continued, "this trip proved there is an un tapped potential for selling many other Tarheel farm products." Summarising by countries the major specific markets discov ered on the trip, be reported! Australia Interested m soy bean meal and canned blueber ries. Hong Kong - There is a mar ket for poultry and swine concen , trate feeds, cotton, canned vege ' tables, and a limited market for ," soybeans. Taiwan - Because this country does not trade with China, it Is a good market for soybeans, corn and cotton. Japan There Is a market for coarse, rock-ground corn meal, a good market for soybeans, and some potential for corn. 'Our appointments were with the leading food handlers, busi ness and government officials," the commissioner said. "It wu the first time a North Carolina Commissioner of Agriculture had accompanied such a group, and this was effective because people of their standing In those coun- tries like to deal with a top offl- L clal. With them, it is a matter of protocol." - V.,,: While some immediate and concrete results of the trip are already being seen, Graham said that the major efforts will pro bably be seen later. "It must be remembered that this kind of market development takes time, patience and under standing of situations in each In- , dividual country," he explained.

We must learn to gear our export production to the market demands and to produce a maximum efficiency to meet price competition." j 1 The commissioner had the highest praise for KonaldB.Mc Cowen of the N. C. Department of Conservation and Development, who planned and led the mission. "Everything was planned with so much care, and the plane car ried out so expeditiously, that the entire group could meet every appointment and travel schedule oo the minute, without a single delay or mishap," he said.
