Europe Update: Agricultural and Trade Report, April 1996

摘要

The long-term (1997-2005) outlook for EU commodity production, consumption, andtrade is for slower growth in grain production and lower exports, stagnating oilseed production and imports, declining beef productin and consumption, and moderate expansion in pork and poultry production and consumption. Unsubsidized exports of some commodities are likely in the later years. The outlook for Central and Eastern European agriculture is for significant growth in grain production and exports, increasing imports of soybeans and soybean meal, and a gradual recovery in the livestock sector with rising exports of beef and poultry.
