Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beef Export Trade of Central America In the 7 years ending in 1964, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, and Guatemala increased beef pro duction by a total of 70 million pounds. Most of this four-country gain in output entered export channels. Much of the increased output was attracted to the us. Market for the last few years by favorable prices, accessibility, and receptiveness to lower grade beef somewhat similar to us. Imports from Australia and other sources. For the four Central American coun tries 1 combined, this has meant a rise of us. Imports from less than 1 million pounds in 1957 to over 60 million in 1964. However, the United States as a market has been more important to these countries than they have been to the United States as a supplier; as late as 1963, the four together supplied only about 6 percent of total us. Imports of fresh or frozen bone less beef, and Australia, over 50 percent. In 1964, im proved beef prices in Europe tended to divert beef to Western European markets, particularly Australian and New Zealand beef. While the Central American countries cannot now obtain enough refrigerated ships to capitalize on Euro pean export opportunities, they can supply some nearby us. Markets by use of refrigerated trucks on barges, towed into port. Other shipments move by refrigerated ship through the Panama Canal. Destination of about 25 percent sent to the United States is Puerto Rico; most of the balance goes to the Florida ports of Miami and Tampa, the remainder to ports in California, Dela ware, and New York. Some is hauled overland from port cities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
