Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prospects for Foreign Trade in Fruits, Vegetables, Tree Nuts: March 1961 The United States production of fruit of all kinds for the 1960-61 marketing season is about 5 percent below that of last year. For' the most part, U. 8. Fruit prices this season are higher, and export availabilities not as large as last year. Foreign competitive of -citrus fruits, dried fruits, and tree nuts in 1960-61 appear to be slightly smaller than in 1959-60, while competitive supplies of fresh and canned deciduous fruits are heavier. Demand conditions in Western Europe remain excellent, although not much additional progress has been made in removing barriers to trade in fruit commodities. The reduction in U. 8. Fruit availabilities and continuation of some trade restrictions will result in smaller total U. 8. Fruit exports in 1960-61 than last season. In the case of vegetables, total exports to Canada should exceed those of 1959 -60 if there is no damage to the U. S. Winter vegetable crop. Similarly, imports into the United States are expected to be smaller this year than last. Mediterranean orange production in 1960-61 is expected to be slightly less than last season, in view of smaller crops in prospect in Spain and Italy. This year's winter lemon cr0p in Italy is expected to be somewhat smaller, although the summer crop will be larger. The relatively favorable prices for fresh and processed oranges and grapefruit prevailing in the United States will tend to inhibit offshore exports in 1960-61. Western European crops of apples and pears for the 1960-61 marketing season are substantially larger than last year, while the U. S. Cr0ps are smaller. Most Western European countries this season are not permitting imports of these fruits from North America until very late in the season, in order to protect prices for home producers. Thus, both economic conditions and quantitative restrictions indicate smaller exports of U. S. Fresh apples and pears in 1960-61 than last season. World production and trade of canned deciduous fruits were at record levels in 1959-60. The U. S. Canned fruit supplies in 1960-61 are at about the same levels as in 1959-60, and exports are expected to approximate those of last season despite heavier foreign supplies and increased ocean freight rates. The United Kingdom increased its import quota from the dollar area by about one -third. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
