Trade Information Bulletin No. 355

Price, 10 cents

INTRODUCTION

The foodstuffs exports of the United States were valued at $989,000,000 in 1924, as compared with $860,000,000 in 1923-an increase of 15 per cent. Larger shipments of cereals (particularly wheat and rye), and fresh, dried, and canned fruits, together with generally higher export prices, were the factors chiefly responsible for this increase. The exports of meats were somewhat smaller in 1924 than in the previous year, but exports of lard were larger.

This bulletin reviews the foodstuffs exports of recent years and compares them with the pre-war exports of these products. This trade is considered from two angles-the trend in the exports of the various classes of food products and the distribution of the trade in the leading foreign markets. Some of the principal facts brought out by this survey are (1) the increased relative importance of cereals and cereal products, canned foods, and fresh fruits in the foodstuffs export trade; (2) the importance of Europe as a market for our foodstuffs; and (3) the increasing exports to North American countries and to the Far East.
