Book excerpt: Excerpt from Agricultural Trade Highlights: April 1993 Exports of wheat and wheat flour in February rose 9 percent to $455 million on a 4 percent gain in volume. Most of the increase occurred in ship ments to Morocco, India, China, and Nigeria, which were up $31 million, $22 million, $21 million and $11 mil lion, respectively. Decreased sales were largely limited to the former So viet Union and Pakistan, down $80 million and $44 million, respectively. Excluding sales to the former Soviet Union and Pakistan, sales were up strongly. February shipments of coarse grains fell 12 percent to $457 million. This decline was due entirely to lower prices as volume rose by 1 percent. Losses were heaviest to the former So viet Union, Japan, and Mexico which were down $93 million, $64 million, and $20 million, respectively. Gains were more modest, but widespread, led by South Africa and Egypt, which were $38 million and $16 million higher, respectively. Exports of oilseeds and products rose 11 percent in February to $912 mil lion, on an equivalent gain in volume. Most of this gain came in soybean sales to the ec, Indonesia, and Malay sia which were up $112 million, $14 million and $12 million, respectively. U.s. Sales to the EC were unusually high due to lower than usual South American supplies at this time of year. Losses were most pronounced to Korea, Taiwan, and the former Soviet Union, down $27 million, $20 million and $18 million respectively. In addi tion, the former Soviet Union showed a $30 million decline in soybean meal sales and $16 million lower soybean oil purchases. Rice exports for February jumped 61 percent over year ago levels, to $77 million, on an 82 percent gain in vol ume. Modest sales gains were wide spread, led by Turkey and Iran, which were up $12 million, each, followed by South Africa up $7 million), and Saudi Arabia (up $5 million). There were no notable sales losses. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
