Prior to that it had been a major wheat exporter principally to communist countries. While exports to these countries have continued they have been greatly reduced and those to non-communist countries practically stopped. Soviet grain imports in the past have been small and primarily for the grain deficit Far Eastern regions. The conversion of the Soviet Union frcn a major wheat exporter to a major importer, although in large part caused by adverse weather, is an important reversal of traditional international grain trade patterns which raises a number of questions as to causes and the future outlook. This report analyses these questions through an examination of pro duction, utilization and government procurements of wheat and rye, both major food grains in the Soviet Union.
