U.S. - Japan Beef and Citrus Understanding, 1984: An Evaluation

摘要

A 1984 understanding between the United States and Japan tempered, at least for the time being, U.S. accusations that Japan unreasonably restricts agricultural imports. The understanding provides for scheduled increases in Japanese imports of beef, oranges, and citrus juice, which will add $35-40 million per year to U.S. agricultural exports to Japan through 1987. Japan's actions on citrus will bring its citrus market close to free trade conditions, but those on beef fall considerably short of the market's free-trade potential.
