Agricultural Situation in the Western Hemisphere: Review of 1975 and Outlook for 1976

摘要

Western Hemisphere countries continued to increase emphasis upon agriculture in 1975, but output was estimated up only 2.8 percent from the 1974 high. Production recovered sharply in Canada and Mexico but suffered serious setbacks from adverse weather in the Caribbean, Central America, and many South American countries. U.S. agricultural trade with the Western Hemisphere countries fell below 1974 record highs--imports fell from $4.6 billion to $4.1 billion and exports fell from $3.8 billion to $3.6 billion.
