Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cotton in Greece Greece is one of a number of relatively small cotton producing countries whose exports have increased greatly in the last two decades. Shipments from Greece rose from an average of bales in 1950-54 to an average of bales in 1965-69 and an expected total of bales in August 1970-july 1971. While the latter quantity is small compared to the million bales exported from the United States in 1970-71, it still is a very substantial export for a mountainous country with less land in farms than Louisiana. Raw cotton is Greece's fifth most valuable export, earning million in 1970. Greece's exports of raw cotton in the last few years have been mostly under bilateral trade agreements to the Communist countries in Eastern Europe. Next-door Yugoslavia usually has been the largest buyer but in 1969-70 the USSR temporarily was the most important. Greece's exports to Eastern Europe and the USSR totaled bales in 1969-70 against bales shipped to these countries from the United States. In 1970-71, Greece's exports to Eastern Europe and the USSR totaled bales (through June) against bales from the United States (through July). Greece usually exports relatively small quantities of cotton to Italy, Spain, and other Western European countries but in 1970-71 (through June) the amount more than doubled to bales. Japan took bales in 1970-71 (through June), which was the first significant quantity to that country in many years. Greece's cotton production rose rapidly from an average of bales in 1950-54 to bales in 1961 but did not exceed this level until 1969 when a record bales were grown. There was a slight drop to bales in 1970 but indications in September 1971 were that production would be around bales in 1971.
