Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Agricultural Situation in the Western Hemisphere: Review of 1973 and Outlook for 1974 Agricultural output of the Western Hemisphere returned to near-record levels in 1973 and agricultural trade rose sharply because of higher world prices, larger exports, and from the need for imports to fill large food deficits in many Latin American countries. Changes in trade were reflected in us. Agricultural imports from the region, which increased from a 1972 value of billion to billion in 1973, and a rise in us. Agricultural exports from billion to billion. Canada's economic growth was almost 7 percent in 1973 compared with percent in 1972. Real gnp growth, estimated for 22 Latin. American countries, trended up advancing from a average of nearly 7 percent to more than percent. Growth exceeded the previous year's high rates in Brazil and Mexico and advanced sharply in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Guatemala, and Venezuela, but was lower in Jamaica, Nicaragua, Peru, Uruguay, and Chile. Hemisphere foreign exchange reserves for December 1 973 were up more than 25 percent from the 1972 record of $16 billion, due to sharp build-ups in Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela, Peru, Colombia, Ecuador, and most Central American countries. Chile continued a sharp draw-down on reserves. Reserves fell off slightly in Canada, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Guyana. Advancing import costs added to inflation in most countries. Rates more than doubled in Canada, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, throughout the Caribbean, and in most Central American countries. The cost-of living rises continued with rates ranging from more than 50 percent in Argentina and Uruguay and to nearly 600 percent in Chile.
